can't figure this

[Tony250]

Many thanks to all, I will print all your suggestions out and bring them to the top mechanic where I live.
Again, you fellas are just so damn knowledgeable and I have less than a casual understanding of outboards.
At 125.00 per hr, here My guy can focus on these things and save me some $.
I'd like to get a new E teck 150 but I just retired and things are a little tight now.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
Tight lines to all, Regards Tony
