yes, I knew it was water but do not know the point of entry. Its going in the shop asap. I thought it was odd to be taking on water in the crank case and not have any loss of power TomCaz

The crank case oil is milky, I noticed a slight milky color and changed the oil and over the past few outings the oil continues to get milky but at a faster rate. The power does not seem to be lacking, Is this a major $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ repair or worse? TomCaz

its been about two weeks since i treated the engine with CLR. I think pulling the nipple off and letting the engine run was key to clearing the clog. so far the pee hole is pushing water out very well.----thanks for the recommendations and support.

I took off the brass nipple again, this time I found some sort of black rubber bits clogging the hole. I was very soft (not like the impeller)??? I let it run with the nipple off I cleared the blockage again. I used the clr its soaking now. Im giong to run again this evening with thr nipple...

I picked up some CLR should I use it undiluted or cut it with water.

I pulled the brass nipple on the pee hole to give me a larger port to blow out any crud that could be stuck. I placed some small gas hose in the port so I would not get water in the exposed parts of the engine,. when she started up she had very little water flow, then a few minutes later it...

when i use weed wacker line or compressed air i connect direct to the brass fitting on the pee hole. the rubber hose is frree and clear--no bugs Ill remove the brass fitting next perhaps some large bit are floating around and cant get thru the narrow pee hole Tom

water pump and impeller have about 20 hours on them, both were changed about 6 months ago. a local wrench not a marine engine mechanic told me to spray carb wd-40, then some card cleaner down the pee hole??? not sure about that????? Tom

my honda 40 has consistent pee hole clogging. I saw tips on other post and have utilized the weed wackwer line and compressed air. Both give positive results but it is short lived. 10--30 minutes and the flow shuts down to a trickle again. I assume Im dealing with a larger problem with...

Don, I think I confused the mecury 60 weight listed at 247 for the yamaha. 237 is correct for the yama as you noted. Lots of yamaha engines in this area but the guys with suzuki really speak highly of their performance. The suzuki does appear to be more naarrow which is a good thing on the...

the 2010 redesigned 60 hp suzuki weight is less than the 50 and 40 Hp suzuki AND about 20 lbs less than the yamaha and a bit more narrow. So my question is the 60 hp to much for 16 angler? Tom

New to the site, lots of good info here, my first question.... Im considering a kicker for my 16 angler, anyone used an 8hp it seem like it may be a tight fit, its not much heavier than the 6 hp. Im not a big fan of 1 cylinder engines and all the 4 stroke 6hp and under are 1 cylinders. Having...
