    ‘89 150 gear set replacement?

    Reverse grinding, wouldn’t stay in gear. Checked control box. Replaced both shift and throttle cables.

    ‘89 150 gear set replacement?

    Looking for some help tracking down a fairly significant fuel leak coming out the main exhaust port while running AND not. 8’x8’ solid sheen on water after 5 mins stopped. Not gear oil, def fuel/oil mix. Rebuilt carbs recently that didn’t seem to help much. Compression is low, but all within...
