Bottom of page 7 and continues on page 8 will help you to diagnose https://www.outboardignition.com/page7.asp

Have you inspected the thermostat for clear passage and/or fully opening? Is this oil; exhaust "oil" or gear oil?? It could be unburned fuel dumped into the exhaust, a closer look at the recirculation hoses/screen to see if clear is recommended

As Nordin already explained perfectly, I just want to add; At NO time EVER should there be 12 reading/applied to the kill-circuit (white wire)

You could look for a donor lower-unit, this is usually the cheapest route

Get the propper parts! You have the C type (or D ??) lower unit & you likely (should) change the seal around the shift-shaft I've attached the parts manual for reference

Yes the pressure relief holes but with the LU not installed the exhaust & return water would come straight out of the bottom and cannot be forced back up because of the missing LU

And check #4 Cylinder / sparkplug

Jerry you're correct, the water pump housing is not the correct one for this LU How it's possible to see water coming out of the relief holes (without the LU mounted) is beyond me

I hate to Hack a post but my curiosity got the better of me, there for my excuses. I have seen a few flywheels with the tiny circular blade bend upwards, does this cause a problem with firing and/or time?

It would definitely help to taper the edges slightly

Merry Christmas everyone & thank you for a year of support

See my comment post#60

Yes, same here; hence my comment

Due tell; how?

The CDI ignition can be confusing & hard to diagnose
