Got 2nd of 3 project motors all put together and running today. This motor is a CDI BF75 (7.5hp). Cleaned the carb, new fuel lines, change from long to short shaft so it has new water tube and seals, lower unit new seals and impeller, new plugs. Hasn't ran for several years. Today I changed the oil, hooked up the gas, and 2 pulls of the cord and it was running in the 55 gal barrel. Idles and revs up on down all was good. Left in neutral and then let it run at a higher rpm for 2-3 min. Water still cool, no smoke, sounded good, and then a couple tablespoons of oily/watery gunk (dirt/bees/etc) came out of the breather tube that comes from the breather housing and exits under the carb through a grommet and outside the motor housing. I killed the motor and then stared it back up. This time I got a little more oli/water and then after 30 sec. a drop or two every now and then.
Any ideas or further steps to take?
