[QUOTE="lugoismad, post: 381189, member: 16518"] A few weeks ago I changed my impeller and found out the previous owner did not install the o-ring around the drive shaft that prevents water from getting into the gear case. Fixed that and then drained the gear oil and it was milk white. Today I ran the motor in a rubbermaid container in gear at idle for about 10 minutes, with a few accelerations up to mid-to-high throttle, then drained the gear oil again. Ignore the nasty oil thats already in the pain. Does whats coming out of there look right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/BCFlxri.jpg[/img] I'm letting it drip out for a few hours, and then I'll re-fill it again. Bonus youtube video of it running at idle. Does everything sound right to you? [youtube]aKiGb_Zbe5Q[/youtube] Also, when I would take it up from idle to mid-throttle or so, it would run fine, but then when I'd bring it back to idle it would want to die. I know 2-strokes can be temperamental. It would always fire right back up. Is this normal behavior for a 30 year old motor? [/QUOTE]
