Seems that wiping the cam is...

    OK, so I get this REALLY beat up old motor with some others. I know its a Eska like motor. Looks almost the same as a Golden Jet I have. Could be a Gamefisher? Anyway, all I can go by is a "5.?" on the plastic cowl. Every other decal is gone. Its white, with light green hp decals. So I know its...

    Antifreeze...1/2 mixed or straight?

    Does anyone know the freezing temp of straight AF? Reason is, we rarely get a good freeze here in the Pacific Northwest where were at down at sea level on Puget Sound, and this is ONLY put in the Motor/Mans for rust prevention after draining over the trailer months. Why add water?

    Exhaust coming from where it shouldn't?

    Long as it runs, use it. If for some odd reason it is restricted, you'll know it...won't reach a decent rpm. You won't hurt a darn thing. Probably just do a recheck of the gear oil after a few hours use, just to make sure the seals are OK in that case
