blown pro 50

[sharpeye Mike]

Hey boys and girls, I bought a blown yam pro 50 for the 3 ram trim and I got curious about the power head and I pull the plugs out to find out that the bottom cyl. was filled with oil. With out going further in the tear down, what do you think went wrong?

Had the same experience with a 40hp evinrude once, cleaned out oil and blocked off oil line to the vro and fired the motor. Still running today .

Like I said, I bought it for the trim and swivel bracket for a project and when I laid it on the garage floor all of a sudden the oil started leaking out the exaust so I got curious and removed the plugs to find the bottom cyl. full of oil. I don't need the power head but it would good to know if it's still good.
