After looking at your last picture and reading fleetwin’s post, I believe he is on to something. The side where it appears there is an opening between the two compartments in the exhaust housing and I believe it is on the side of your exhaust housing that has all the paint burnt off. If there is an opening between these two sections in that vertical partition just below the powerhead, that is not supposed to be there. I bet all your problems go away if you swap out that midsection. I had two 1959 Evinrude 10s apart over this past winter and I do not remember there being any kind of opening in that partition. I don’t have any pictures right now, and I’m sure this will be resolved before I get into another one unless I’m working on one at Tomahawk in a few weeks.
