Hi guys, got this thing back together finally and it runs great. Thanks to all who made suggestions. Next issue now seems to be water in the outdrive oil. Took it out tonite for its test run. Ran great no problems. Got home pulled the upper vent plug and gave it a little shake and the oil looked milky. So I went ahead and drained it out. You looked a little swirled not completely water logged. I could see oil and milky looking oil. Could this just be the plug gaskets. They look bad and I didn't look at them closely when I had it apart the first time. Brian

Forgot to post that it is a pre alpha on a 1977 Mark Twain 165 hp inboard. Brian
