I had that hesitation before and is now gone. I could share the bad news or just wait it out, lol
Bones, is it possible to share without the bad news?

It works but..... Was told I not allowed to idle it??? I was told for every half hour to hour of idling I will have WOT for 15 mins. I just laughed while at the counter and said this is not a Fitch, or old VRO,etc this is made for trolling. If it wasn't they wouldn't idle at 500rpm. It was also and still I a selling feature because of 4 strokes. Went on to tell here I use a pair of yammi 250 VRO's in nootka that run an hour out... Troll for 8 hours and run back. Not one fowling problem in the last 7 years. She shrugged her shoulders and said dont idle this motor.Not just the lower mainland, and not just the marine industry. Finding that shop or mechanic who has a passion for his work is hard but when you find them be loyal as they can make your life easier.
Did you get the engine fixed?
I had it once on my 150 etec. It was just blowing oil through it. It ended up being a kinked oil return line. When I filled it up I kinked it. I hope yours is that easy.
Been playing this in my mind for a bit, the hood foam has been torn back in the rear where the oiling tubes are. Maybe when they put the cover back on and forced it down the tubes where bent or miss aligned.... O could it be so simple???
The foam was bent badly and separated from the hood in two places.
