Hey guys
So I've been trying to fire this engine up, been using sea foam spray to try and clean but that has not been working, it has been starting up, run for a few seconds then cut off, I think the pinholes in the carbs are clogged so I am going to pull and rebuild/clean. As I was putting everything away, I went to remove the hose and noticed an oily substance coming from the prop, it smelled like the fuel mixture, Im assuming that this should be like this but I also thought since I have been trying to start the motor and tilting up and down that the fuel mixture might have creeped down ward towards the lower unit, any ideas?? I hope its just run off but I doubt its normal because everyone would be polluting the waters.
