Re: Noise at Idle

I agree with Mumbles. However, if you have another similar motor, I think before I went ripping into the power head, I would try a quick lower unit swap. Lower unit noises can transmit upward and have fooled many a good mechanic. If you had, say, a chipped gear tooth, this might be something you could also hear in the power head area. I know you will never believe this, until it happens to you.

Long live American manufacturing!
