Well folks,
With so much help from here on how to do minor repairs on my old 1979 25hp Johnson,
I am at my wits END !!!
Here is what I have done so far:
removed head and cover
new thermostat
new water deflectors (correctly installed)
new gaskets with Permatex
new exhaust manifold gaskets (on side of the motor) with Permatex
removed old 35hp carb - back to the original 25hp
new carburetor gasket kit
new flywheel key
bunch of new wires
all new fuel hoses and fittings and clamps, new inline fuel filter
new fuel pump gaskets
Cranked right up, idled well once warmed up.
lot of white smoke (which I think is normal)
No excess oil in exhaust
water pump works great
everything I took off, I replaced gaskets with new & Permatex
after all this .... I STILL HAVE WATER ON MY SPARK PLUGS !!!!!!!!!!
I have NO idea as to where it could be coming from.......
:x I think it is time to drop it off at the boat repair shop and let the PROFESSIONALS fix it !!!!! :x
