howdy folks i have picked this outboard up 2 weeks ago so far i have overhauled the fuel pump and she still has the guts how ever over the week it has started leaking what seems to be transmision fluid from a hole on the gearbox housing now sure wether its from heat or ? hoping you guys could point me to the right direction :) IMAG0583.jpg
 
i haven't touched the gearbox yet mate waiting for next pay check and i shall service that to for piece of mind as for fuel mixture iv gone for 100;1 many people recommended that but yes i will give it a ago thank you for the speedy response :)
 
Sorry but I HAVE to just ask this silly question?

One carb or two?

The Australian ones had twin carbs................believe it or not.

Something to do with a modified 18Hp?

They oiled plugs all the time, especially the bottom plug so had to be revved out all the time.

Sorry to hijack........

PS: that oil is coming from the water drain hole at the bottom of the exhaust, or, above the water pump. Check gearbox later. Oil is from unburnt fuel.
