Hi
Ive been having a few problems with my motor recently. Sometimes when I take the motor out of gear it stalls. Could this be that the motor is running rich? I disconected the oil so I pre mix everytime I fuel up(50:1)
One thing I noticed is when I put the boat back up on the trailer I see a bit of burnt oil dripping out of the 2 holes above the lower unit. I guess those holes are some sort of water pump indicator. What can I do to fix this.

Thanks

Did it just start this after you disconnected pump or was it doing it before?
Several thing will make this engine run rich at idle and bogg:
A) bleed filter stopped up ..if equipped
B) defective ATS sensor
C) defective head temp sensor
D) dirty injector/s
E) sometimes a defective MAP sensor or hose off induction manifold will cause this but you will see WOT operation affected also with is problem.

I purchased the motor with the oil system disconnected. It ran fine for the first few months but now its getting worse.

Thanks for the advise im going to working on it tomorrow.
