[QUOTE="who pooted?, post: 274461, member: 940"] Concerning the LU oil. I agree that i must be taking in water. I'm going to order some seals and new bolts to remedy this. Perhaps when i hit that log it knocked something loose and caused water to seep in. Gearcase plug- Pappy where might i look for this? I'm sounding a little green here, but your not talking about the oil in the LU are you? When i drained it there were no shavings, just milky. Compression- did you want me to pull the plugs and check compression after the deceleration problems? I would be more than happy to give you an honest answer on that next time i'm out. Trust me pride is not the issue here, my motor is. Spark Plugs- I put new ones in on my last outing and they are burning clean. I just inspected them and i definitely have water in the lower cylinder. Those "droplets" i was suspicious of appear to be water. I noticed some liquid on the plug in the lower cylinder so i tapped it against my hand and the liquid that came off didn't smell of gas or feel like an oil mixture. I firmly believe it's water. CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How does this happen? How do i fix it? Thanks again! - Adam [/QUOTE]
