Put it in the shop for some work to fix an oil leak (lower PTO seal) and replace the regulator before my warranty runs out in August. Man I hope I get it back by friday. Guy said he should have it ready. Gots some frogs callin my name and I need to be on the water come midnight sunday.

Well looks like i'm screwed for the weekend. Briggs guy having trouble getting the PD clutch off the motor. Froze on shaft.

AGAIN? Next thing you'll tell us when you get it back is the prop flew off! Dammit Bro! time to break out the sawzaw!

Yeh I had to use one of those on it before too. I'd rather not have to buy a new clutch though.

Gonna have to go catch frogs in a MB, sure hope they taste the same. Just glad it's midnight start, that way no one will see me in it!!!!!

Yeh, boats ready.

Well I still have an oil leak at the shaft seal. Although it appears to be coming from outside the seal, where the seal is pressed into the block and not at the shaft itself.

fire ur mechanic. lol

Seen two covers cracked in that area. You may want to look at that possibility.

Shoulda bought a mudbuddy.

We ran it before leaving his shop and it was fine. I ran it again at home for awhile and did some maintenance and it didn't leak at all. Wasn't until I got it out on the lake running hard that it started again. So I don't know what the deal is.
