" I was checking the top dead
" I was checking the top dead center of the #1 piston and I noticed the timing read 16* at the timing pointer with the piston at TDC. I removed the flywheel and found the woodruff key had split. Replaced woodruff key for .35 and it now runs and idles like a charm.
I drained the lower unit, Hey! no water in the oil. Lake Monroe here I come!
Thanks to everyone for all the good information. "
