    Fleetwin,
    I will re-check the primer today with your instructions. The link and sink seemed off when I worked on motor yesterday and that was after I was working on the primer.

    When I was checking it yesterday I pinched the small hose and motor stopped running I also pinched the larger hose going to primer and engine stopped. I think their could be a problem with the primer system but I will need to re-visit it. Their did look like it had water in the bottom cylinder looking at the spark plug. I think I will drop the lower unit next because motor is running well and see if bottom cylinder kicks in.

    I was looking at the diagram for the parts thinking of what to order and I don’t think that motor even has a bottom crank seal. I looked and other years do. It is a 1989 J6RCEC
    Here is the crankcase and crank diagrams for it. If that is the case it could possibly be a bad base gasket?

    Thanks for help and instructions,

    ps I am attaching a pic of a motor like this one it is on ebay and it shows just how close the water supply is to the crankshaft.
