Hey guys, first time poster here.
Ive just recently purchased a 2004 15hp motor.
I viewed the motor and saw it running in a tank of water and decided that i would complete the purchase as the motor seemed good to go.
Ive gotten home after a couple hours of driving to find a bit of oily crap leaking out of the exhaust below the water telltale
Ive also found it is leaking oil from the bottom if the prop. not a lot but some.
The guy assured me that it has been serviced, new impeller, leg oil, thermostat and all that but i am yet to check for myself as ive literally only just got it.
I got it home and chucked it into a tank of water and it runs like a "dream", starts first pull, idles nicely, a little bit smoky but im thinking thats maybe because it hasn't been used much in the past year and its a 2 stroke.
Ive attached pictures to show what im talking about
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, G
