1981 OMC 140 I got it from someone said it was running for 1 hour and stopped 2 years ago was winterized , put water ears on it to try and get it running, got it to run but no water getting to engine then I checked sterndrive there no oil in it, I have to pull it to put a new Transom Seal anyway is there anything I can check or change before or after I take it off.
Thanks
 
81 OMC 140 - If the impeller hasn't been changed in < 2 years, its a good idea.
the Oil check in the TOP is a Gauge, it could be low.
you must FILL from the BOTTOM UP !!! or you will trap air and not fill properly.
need to get a manual or search this site for instructions if still needed, good luck.
 
If no water is exiting ,impeller is shot,replace with whole kit,not just impeller. Have lower unit pressure tested & vacuum tested before adding oil,save $$. Check all moving parts ,drive shaft,u joints for wear& tear it is quite old See if any other seals are bad,thru hull accessories ETC. Lower unit might need to be sealed, check availability of parts before you go forward and tear it down!
