HI guys I just picked up a 1998 mariner 25hp (Serial # 0G639593). I got the motor for basically free with a nice all welded flat bottom and trailer. Its a very clean motor and the previous owned claimed it sat up most its life and it sure looks that way under the cowl. I got a carb rebuild kit...
I am in the process of rebuilding the carbs on my 1992 40hp 4cyl Mercury and I noticed that on my bottom carb the fuel bowl baffle is broken, this is probably the reason my float was sticking causing fuel to pour out of the vent.

My motor was not warming up at all, would only get to about 110 after running at 4000 RPM for a while ( No more than 80 deg and idle) so I figured my thermostats were stuck open. The Thermostats in my motor were black and appreard to be missing parts they were very light compared to my new ones...

My 9.9 Johnson is leaking a heck of a lot of burnt oil/gas from the prop , the inside of the prop is covered with it after I run it on my muffs. I don't use this motor much in the water since its my kicker and I don't want to run it all the time in saltwater for no reason.
I checked the gear...
