Thanks guys!
The motor is the one in the signature, an "84 Evinrude 150 horse, premixed fuel. The compression is the same as 2 years ago, 90psi. What's your opinion of cleaning the carbs and changing oil type and seeing how long it might take to finish off the piston, or do you think it will cause even more damage doing that?

at least remove that head and clean the stuff out so it won't break loose and make the motor loose a cylinder all together. just clean the head and piston top really well then install back with new gasket run till she dies.

I'll plan on doing that, thanks.
I'll put in line with the detrimental repairs list with the other stuff, which is ahead of the regular maintenance stuff and those are ahead of the other projects. How did that go? God put me on this Earth to complete a certain amount of tasks, at this time I am so far behind that I will never die!

DO NOT RUN till you get that stuff out of the head or it most likely be the end of your motor.
