[QUOTE="Allen, post: 407451, member: 389"] You misspelled frustrating. Older boat motors are easy to get to run, not so easy when it comes to getting them to run as intended. They just always seemed to have their own little quirks. As far as the milky appearance of oil coming from the exhaust, unburned oil is not unusual but the milky part makes me wonder about the head gasket. That being said, I'd just monitor it for the time being. It may be somewhat normal for that old of an engine, but try to keep a mental note of how much it produces. Also, keep an eye on the spark plugs. If she's getting water into one of the cylinders, you should be able to see a difference in between the coloration of the plug in the affected cylinder. I ran an early 70s 25HP Johnson for a few years. Just so long as I always had a crescent wrench, Leatherman, and spare pull rope, I could at least get back to the dock. There were a few times I thought that song about pulling on a Johnson was written about me. [/QUOTE]
