On the way back from the "nooner" heard a minor lifter tick at high rpm, slowed the boat down tick went away.
I noticed the oil pressure was low and oil level was full but smelled of gas. Made it back to Beacon Cove. Changed the oil (smelled bad of fuel) and hooked up a mechanical oil pressure gauge. No tick and 50psi pressure.
Now the question, This is the 1st oil change I did on the boat (dont know when the previous owner did one last)
If the plugs look good, I was told that the fuel pump diaphram can go bad and leak gas into the motor via the
pushrod hole that pushes the pump.
Has anyone heard of this?
Thanks
