Re: general outboard question

You can have no symtoms, just a siezure. Or you can have:<br /><br />>stalls at idle<br />>low power<br />>hard to restart<br />>hard to turn over<br />>burning paint smell<br />>discolored paint on side of block<br />>crackling noise when shut down<br />>rough running<br />>steam from tell-tail<br />>gradual loss of rpm until siezure :(
