Already learned that I have some engine troubles which will be taken care of after the season, knew that I was burning oil rather than leaking it, but hope to find out if I'm doing any extra damage. On top of the valve cover there's an outlet where a rubber hose attaches and goes to the air...
While on the water yesterday I had some trouble with the ignition, points, condenser... changes those as well as spark plugs. Oh, and the fuel filter, again!
Finally it's running great, planes off quickly and accelerating great. Approaching 35 mph the engine starts making this incredibly loud...
