Hi,I have a 1972 Johnson 6 hp. I am getting water in the lower cylinder, and have seen water droplets in the carb while running. Replaced exhaust gaskets and mounting gasket. I have also rebuilt the carb. Please help
 
Fine water droplets in the carburetor throat and exterior are condensation out of the air. Normal and not to worry. Water in cylinder probably is leaking head gasket,, since you have already ruled out the exhaust cover gasket. OR it could be a defective lower crankcase seal (the seal at the top end of the drive shaft). However that problem usually is not noticed until it has destroyed the powerhead. Can we assume you used the correct gaskets?
