[QUOTE="GYPSY400, post: 468294, member: 8599"] In that case I think it's worth tinkering with. I'd take my time over the fall and the winter and investigate the goo under the flywheel. If that issue turns out to be nothing serious ( possibly a crank seal or something melted inside the stator) then clean the carbs, replace the water pump and gear oil ( I'd pressure test the bottom end too) and it should be good to go.. I would pay special attention to the entire ignition system and replace anything that looks suspect to failure, even replace all three coils if you can find them for a decent price. Www.marineengine.com is a good source for part numbers.. you can buy from there too, but once shipping and dollar exchange is factored in, a lot of the time it's easier to buy from a local dealer. Another good source is EBay once you have your part numbers. Expect a budget of $500 To get this motor running reliably. Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
