[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 386131, member: 13599"] have you checked the spark plugs during this no run situation ?? porcelain color can tell you a lot about the fuel burning and ignition. tan, brown, black, clean, oily and WATER droplets . . . I am NOT a mechanic...... I can only share some of my past experiences with you. worst case scenario would be water getting into the cylinders. I just remembered my last episode before I gave the boat to my brother. I had changed the head gasket twice, new thermostat, new rubber water deflectors, new side water jacket gaskets. Then [b]Pappy[/b] said it is most likely from the gasket between the motor and lower unit base. That is when I said enough is enough and gave it to my brother. hope someone can pinpoint it for you SOON. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
