When I got this motor home it was not running. the Flywheel and pull starter was off and in the back of the boat. The electronics were hangin loose, no screws on the points condenser and coils. I have never worked on a boat motor before so this has been a project. All the screws and bolts were lost, I called and asked if they had them but they had no idea where they were, so I had to buy everything new. Anyway I got everything back together and had to take the carb off and clean it. I was all gunked up. I got the motor running real sweet but there is no water coming out of the exhaust port. I keep hearing about the telltale, my Clymer manual doesn't show it or explain it but I read something about it. I have water running out between the Lower Unit and the Gear Case, is that normal. I think I am going to drop the Gear Case and have a look at what is there. the guy I bought the boat and motor from said he had the lower unit rebuilt because the gears were stripped. He said he paid more to have it rebuilt than what I paid for the boat, motor and trailer. The more I work on the motor the closer it seems to be coming together. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
