Hello guys,
Yesterday we we're starting up our outboard motor, a 1976 25 hp evinrude model.
We we're starting it up yesterday and it worked perfectly fine, it instantly fired up, no problems.
Today we tried it again, and it just wouldn't start. And when we looked in the bucket we had the engine hanging in (the boat wasnt in the water) we saw what looked to be alot of oil leaking from it. It all came from a hole on the opposite side of the propeller (image attached with box pointing at what I mean)
Everytime we tried stareting it up it sounded like it was about to fire up and then it wouldnt go on and stopped.
It looked like oil that came out and something else, some weird gooey stuff
Does anyone here have any idea what It could be? I tried looking up some other things but didn't really get it.
