[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 205134, member: 432"] Could be just that the carb needs to be cleaned. I am not too familiar with the 6hp so I can't tell for sure. As for the exhaust, I know on my 1975 Evinrude 9.9 that the cooling water was exhausted through the exhaust port. It had no pee hole. I created a port on the water jacket cover so I could see it peeing. Works like a charm. As the fuel/oil mix burns in the cylinder it may not burn all of the oil (especially at low rpm's) and the residue will be exhausted through the exhaust. There may be a small sheen of oil on the water as you are idling around in your boat. That is normal. At least you know it is lubricated. I believe that is one reason the environmentalist are pushing for four strokes so hard. [/QUOTE]
