    Plugs are dark, new impeller, wear plate & housing are in good condition. 9 hours of break-in on the motor, runs perfect for all 9 hours, not even one sneeze. Relief hole in the water discharge isn’t plugged up, snout in the gearcase either. 24:1 mixture (1 quart to 6 gals.). If the shift handle wasn’t hot (only at idle) or the upper, starboard mid wasn’t getting discolored, I wouldn’t know or probably even care.
