Well after buying a 1988 Sea nymph 19'GLS with a 1988 90 hp mariner on it the excitement is gone. Did all the usual stuff of replacing lower gear lube checking oil in the oil injection tank, then started on the muffs. Everything was good. Went to the lake and no power. Discovered back at the shop that the carb sync linkage was broken. Neighbor has a machine shop and built a new one getting rid of the plastic one. Well took to the lake last night and took off. Ran like a striped a.$@ ape. Then started acting funny and shut down. Well. I think the auto oil system didn't oil. After sitting for about five minutes it turned over. There is a button by the oil tank and I remember everybody pushing it wondering what it does. I am going to soak the cylinders down with oil but I have a feeling I am in for an overhaul. Any insight would be great or suggestions.
