or where the seal kit is below the water pump?Is there lube in the gearcase?
As far as i know. I haven't checked it but I will. I've ran it on the lake for a short distance and it ran good. I haven't seen it leaking any oil from lower unit.Is there lube in the gearcase?
The last time I put in the water was about 2 weeks ago. I have had the starting problems only about the last couple of days.As far as i know. I haven't checked it but I will. I've ran it on the lake for a short distance and it ran good. I haven't seen it leaking any oil from lower unit.
10-4. I'll try that. I'll update with my fnding. ThanksMeasure the battery voltage at the starter while cranking it over.
Checked voltage at starter as you suggested, only showing 9.5 volts and dropping when attempting to start. Put charger on battery for 30 minutes, motor turned right over. I'm pretty sure battery is not holding charge. Checked voltage in each cell with multimeter, most cells were around 1.8 volts. I'm going to change batteries and see what happens. Will update later. Thanks for everyone's help10-4. I'll try that. I'll update with my fnding. Thanks
Ok; changed batteries and motor ran fine.. got that fixed now I have a new problem. When I went out to take motor out of barrell I noticed some oil on top of water. I took the motor out of the barrell and oil came out of the propeller where it mount to lower unit. The oil was black. It didn't look like water was in it. I don't know where oil is coming from. I don't want to run my motor anymore until I get this fixed. Propeller is turning fine by hand. Any help would be appreciate. Oh I forgot to mention motor was in neutral the entire time in the barrel. ThanksChecked voltage at starter as you suggested, only showing 9.5 volts and dropping when attempting to start.

Your motor runs on a gasoline-oil mix. Some of the 2 cycle oil doesn't always burn. If you run the motor in a barrel, the water becomes an oily mess.
Changed lower unit gear oil yesterday. Haven't started motor yet. Don't see no gear oil leaking out. Do you think it would be okay to start up with the muffs on? ThanksYup, what he said. If you haven't changed the lower gearcase oil lately do it to make sure there's no leak.
