No, I have pumped it out and added new oil ran it for a few seconds and we are back to the coffee color oil, I pumped a some more out, put it in a clear jar and left it a few days and not really see and separation, it has a real strong gas odor to it but doesnt really explain the coffee color to it....

The oil is definitely thinned out I guess it could be a combination of water and gas , Its for sure a lot of gas from the smell. The alarm that went off is the engine temp / oil pressure alaram , oil pressure is high, I`m guessing due to the amount of fluid in there . My thinking ( or wishful thinki...

I put the oil i removed in a clear jar, left it over night and I notice no separation at all. So I will start with the fuel pump diaphragm. I will take some photos today. and post .

I will take a few pictures tomorrow. I am pretty sure that I have electric fuel pumps and they were installed about a year and a half ago by the previous owner, un less there is a second mechanical pump that is mounted on the engine that your talking about? Would this cause the engine alarm to go of...

I pump out the oil through the dipstick tube, approx 20 liters . I believe that it is gas mixed with the oil not water, due to the extreme smell of gasoline . Is this possible, Could the engine be flooded so bad the gas got into the oil from trying to start it.

whats the best way to get the oil out ?

Well after many. hours of working on my port side engine I finally got it to fire up and everything was running great, it was a very exciting moment. And then after about ten minute the engine alarm buzzer went off. I check the gauges everything looked ok but I shut it down and visually checked the ...

What type of oil am I to put in these drives? I have done a bit of research and found 30 weight. Is this what everyone would recommend ? Also how much does each drive require.

UPDATE Well another day to work on the boat due to this rain anyhow here is were I am at. The starboard engine starts up and runs great . The port side is a different story can`t get the thing to fire at all. Today I cleaned all connections, pulled the started had it rebuild and new solenoid put eve...

Had a rain day from the job today so went full out on this issue. Happy to say at around 4 o clock I got the port side motor all fired up and running well. After tracing wires, cleaning contacts, removing and getting starter and solenoid rebuilt ( thanks to the local starter shop ), finding a short ...

Tried the jump cable ground, no luck. Hooked everything back up now I get no crank on the one engine and now when I try to start the other engine after a few seconds of cranking the radio turns on full blast turn it off crank it again and radio back on. THIS IS getting very strange. I have double ch...

Pulled all the plugs checked all batteries for full charge. Turned the key a same result. Went from a slow crank to dead in about 10 seconds. One other thing I notice is the negative cable coming of the one battery was extreme hot to the touch after this 10 second crank. I checked the oil it is at i...

Cracked exhaust manifold doesn`t sound like much fun. I will try the no plugs and see what happens. Seems electrical to me because is both engines.

Slow crank would best describe it, but after about 10 seconds of that there is nothing this is after re install the 3 batteries fully re charged. As far as testing I took them out and brought them to Canadian Tire and they put them on the tester and they all came back ok. All the DC accessories ligh...

Installed the batteries just as they where last year, i referenced some pictures I took last year before disconnecting everything, Check oil etc etc. Fir...
