Hey folk! Newbie here, I have owned a couple old larger hp outboards in the past but no smaller sizes. I recently purchased a 1972 Evinrude 25 hp short shaft that has been setting for a couple years, the motor is in really good original condition. It started right up and pumps water good in the test barrel, but after running it for a couple minutes I took it out of the barrel and noticed a good bit of oil along with the water draining from the gearcase water drain holes. I don't think this is normal, any ideas on what I should look for??? I drained the oil from the gearcase and it was not milky and did not have water in it.
Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.
