Thank you guys.
I'll do that exhaust exploration today. I think I'll pull the exhaust off and examine it. I may not be able to start the engine on Easter due to the noise it will create. I'm downtown in a nice residential area and it would be too disruptive. I can run the engine later this week.
Nine years ago when I bought the boat it had a failed head gasket and a severe overheating problem. I pulled most of the engine apart in the water except for the block. I knew it pretty well and knew what components I had on the engine.
I have to say, my working knowledge of the engine has slipped quite a bit. In the past 9-years all I've done is change oil, filters, plugs and wires. It's been a great engine. I guess in a way I've ignored it becasue it's ran so well. You can tell from my photos how dirty it is. Maybe it's a wakeup call to keep it cleaner and stay more plugged into it.
