Hi all, I'm excited to join this site and forum and maybe get the answer I need.
I've had a frustrating 2 years dealing with insurance and a lazy brother after we capsized our fishing boat June 2023.
8 Hp Yamaha above was saved and flushed , some wiring changed on electric remote panel and after a year it finally ran again.
After 8 to 10 outings it failed on the water and upon inspection gas was leaking / gushing out of carb. After discovering this and no immediate replacement available I got lucky with a disassembly, cleaning and reassembly.
After several more outings a friend noticed oil leaking at the ramp after latest outing. We hadn't hit anything so I started searching the web. No real results answering my question.
I've included pictures but basically oil level was almost zero, oil collecting inside of cowling/housing and nothing obvious visible.
Any and all opinions, theories, suggestions welcomed.
