    multiple error codes

    Oil is too low a Viscosity, or diluted with fuel? Corroded/Dirty Connections can cause the Com Errors, as well as damaged wiring.

    1996 25 HP 3 cylinder

    While a 3 Cylinder Engine has advantages over a 2 Cylinder when it comes to Exhaust Tuning(can help Economy and Power), I haven't heard many Good Things about these 3 Cylinder engines.

    Gear case

    The gears are showing wear on the Clutch Dog Interface, especially on what I will assume is the Forward Gear. I would be changing them, and well as the Clutch Dog itself, and carefully inspecting all the Bearings in the Case, but that is just me.

    Gear case

    I would the Gears are Shot, as there are several teeth with what look like Gouges and chipping, the Clutch Dog is worn, I suspect the Bearings are also going to show Galling.
