Hi there guys,
New to the forums here,
I have searched through forums for 4 days and still cant find anybody with this issue.
My engine is a 1980 mercury 115hp inline 6.
I purchased the motor and it needed a bit of work.
I replaced carbs and everything in the top end of the motor, Finally got it fired up and bam my engine started frothing at the mouth.
So I assume, Ok gaskets are gone in the lower end. (**Note** motor has only been run on muffs)
Dropped the lower end and changed all the gaskets, Waterpump housing, orings and impeller
Here is the internals
The old internals immediately after dropping lower end
Bad gaskets I was assuming this was a huge problem for sure
Old impeller, Seemed not too bad (Water tube removed in this picture by me)
ordered the kit online and replaced everything i could find to replace. all the way down to the bearings.
After getting the engine(lower end) back together, I refilled the gear oil and fired it up on the muffs,
Withing 30 seconds --->
Perfect stream coming from the pee hole but I cant understand where this foam is coming from or how to fix it,
I am very mechanically inclined but by no means a mechanic.
I hope my post is detailed enough to receive some insight.
I look forward to being a part of this online community, Many of the posts I have found on here have been very useful to me and I hope to be able to contribute just the same.
Safe boating everyone
