[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 344102, member: 13599"] After chasing the freakin GREMLINS in this motor ..... water in the gas leaking fittings yada yada yada only to find out today ..... it is a leaking [b]HEAD GASKET[/b] !!!! Two bolts were pretty rusted so it has been leaking water for quite some time. I guess it was a slow leak that began couple of years ago and finally gave way today while running in a barrel. am soooooooo thankful that it gave up the ghost in the driveway and not 10 miles from the dock !!!! First, I checked the spark plugs and they had water on them ..... cleaned them up, started up the motor and it ran GREAT - - - at first - - - then, right back to the old rough running, bogging down and no energy. pulled the plugs again, MORE water this time .... pulled the head off, and the pistons were filled with water. now that all the fuel line issues and new filter and then new head gaskets will be the FINAL FIX. sure will be nice to get all these gremlins OUT before summer starts !!!!!
