    Don, a good point regarding the gear case. I definitely will try that before I tear into the head, although I did listen to the exhaust housing with my rubber hose while the engine was running, and it was quiet.
    Before I started the motor for the 1st time I did put new seals, and a new clutch dog in the gearcase. The gears and shaft looked ok.I also changed out the impeller and associated seals and o rings.
    Unfortunately I can’t dig into the motor for a few weeks because of travel, but I will definitely keep everyone updated once I find the culprit.
    Thanks,
