Ok where do I start ... I got a 07 9.9 given to me with a broken swivel bracket got on took the whole thing apart put in new water pump base/exhaust gasket and what do you know it fired up in the bucket took it out on the river got about 500 yards and quit took it home to look at it another day while I waited for carb kit. Well the carb kit came so i went to work on it and the motor was locked up pulled plugs saw rust in cylinders pulled head a wooden dowel some wd40 had it freed up with what looks like to be no issues head gasket looked brand new .......before I tear this whole thing back apart could it be my exhaust gasket or water in my fuel I thought I cleaned the tank well ...... thanks for any responses

Only 3 places an outboard can rust in the powerhead! The crank and bearings,Cylinder walls and piston rings. You had enough rust to lock the motor up PULL THE HEAD and actually look at something this time. Was the rust coming through a port? Did either of the pistons look shiny clean? I would ask you to do a compression test but I doubt you changed the head gasket so waste of time! Did either of the pistons look like it hit something? Is there play in the pistons? Maybe instead of mouthing off you could actually look at something.

You still never answered my question and yes I am goning to do a compression test I was not asking about the rust in the cylinders they seem fine as stated I am asking if the exhaust is where the water could be coming from maybe I dint tourque the exhaust bolts proper when i put the new gasket in that's all I'm asking it's not my first time with 2 stroke motors but is my first with an out board answer the question asked and every thing goes smooth

Not nice Heavy. You need to bear with us older fellows whose eyesight may be failing or whatever... we do have a bad habit of skipping a line or two here & there but eventually we catch up. Vast knowledge of these things from the early 1950's to the present time indicates one hellava long time... and that gets us a little rusty also. :)

My two cents worth here remains as what was stated in another forum (in not so many words perhaps) that it would be best to tear that thing down so as to inspect the crankshaft and bearings.
