Hey everyone, I've got a 1973 Johnson 20r73a that's been idle for about 3 years.
Checked compression, changed lower oil, and swapped spark plugs and put some fresh gas into it to see if it would start.
Started on the 2nd pull, but wouldnt stay running. I've got a carb kit so I am gonna pull and clean that.
My question is after I pulled it out of my trash can of water, I noticed later some black oil dropping from what I think is is the water intake and the water output (which was spraying very strongly, so that's good) what is this? Normal? Or a problem?
