    What part would someone call a "head" on an outrive?

    Title says it all. Going to look at a boat and the guy says it leaks a little gear oil after the marina put a new "head" on the outdrive? I've always had outboards and have no idea what this means or how bad or costly it will be to fix? Thanks in advance!

    last thread of the month! I swear! Fuel probem?

    I'm having some trouble getting this 90hp johnson(J90TLEOR) to fire up. The only way I can get it to start is to spray some premix in the carbs. I thought it was the leaking primer solenoid lever so i replaced it. No luck. The fuel is coming from a clean small tank. Everything seems to be fine...
