Check gear lube for water. <br />Check compression, around 100psi on those motors. <br />Check spark. <br />Make sure the motor runs, make sure it pumps water out the tell tale. <br />See if the prop is stuck on the prop shaft.<br /><br />and remember that there is a reason that a marine mechanics favorite 4 words are, "I just bought it..."<br /><br />Scott.
