Oil plug off, filter came loose, bad seal at the crank, you forgot to stand on one leg,...... Kind of hard to diagnose - need more info Pics help - but start with the basics - make sure your oil drain plugs are plugged for starters. Make sure your oil filter - if one - is tight. Think small - then go from there. Pm if you have questions. |

sorry guys for the crappy info........i even know better than that....comes to find out the bolts were loose where the case seals together towards the back of the motor..i guess im gunna threadlock the crap out of them... these bolts backed out b/c of the vibration....i wonder if there's anything i can do to get some of the vibration down?? |

I am not an expert like some on here, but I believe damaged prop and bad U joints can cause vibrations |
