Hey everyone,
A couple buddies and I recently acquired a 15.5 foot Glastron boat with a 60 HP Evinrude, both are 1967s. Beautiful boat, two tone red and white, love it so much.
Was told by the previous owner, It was a 4 stroke (wrong), that it had new spark plugs (wrong kind and old), battery was new (wrong, 9 years old). He was an idiot to say the least.
Now, as we've started to make our way through the maintenance, we're having some problems. First thing was leaking from the spark plug sockets, problem solved with new spark plugs. Changed the gear oil, all new gas and two-stroke oil, new fuel lines, etc.
Now, a new problem has been discovered. When the engine is running, it leaks, or sprays almost, an oil/gas mixture from the very bottom of the engine when it runs. It isn't think like gear oil, but resembles the gas/oil being put in the tank.
I guess my question is, there was some pretty big leakage from the spark plug sockets, could oil/gas have leaked out of those holes, down the case, and now just leaks out when it runs?
Just trying to get some information to know where I should start.
Thank you in advance! Love this boat just want to make sure it runs well before I take it on any extensive adventures!
