The lower plug looks like new, clean etc. The upper plug looks normal brown ceramic, and black electrode as shown in repair book. I'm thinking a blown or leaking head gasket, not too bad a project, but motor runs good now, had it on a local lake for a couple hours!!

We are getting ready for next weekend on the coast, and I don't see in the book where it shows the head must be fixed before a weekend trip. Tough to get a new gasket that fast, that I can put it in without a rush. Is this just a "when we get around to it", or a "don't run this thing or it totals itself out" situation ?? I'm ordering a gasket today anyhow, but how much can I get away with if it doesn't come in ??

Thanks Again Guys, Cal
