this a 2009 130 ETEC with about 25 hours.
On the trailer after a few hours sitting with the engine in the down position, not quite all the way, when tilting up the motor does not move up and the pump has a different sound. If the down buttton is pushed it goes down and then can be raised. However, it sounds like air mixed in the pump sound and then goes away when about half way up. Trimming down is ok. After a few cycles the air sound goes away.
I have bled and some air comes out. There is a little oil that drips out when the plug is loosened. I have never had to add oil, but continue to bleed air.
there are now visible oil leaks.
Any ideas how to purge. Can a vacuum pump be uese.
Thanks, Mike
