Hi i ran outboard up yesterday (first time this year) have changed plugs and oil and now it sounds sooo noisey. It runs sweet plenty of water circulating, had it running for about 15 min and it didnt get louder or quieter. Any ideas please

Hi
its a honda 40hp 4 stroke year about 2000-2002 no idea of running hours, what ever was not working correct is ok now. It was very loud for about 30 seconds today then went quiet again, maybe with being lay down in boot of car.
Thanks

Yes had it out on water both times once nice and quiet second time rattled it head off,
Thanks i took it to our local boat place he is going to strip it down and have a look, he thinks it could be @@@@ in the oil pump or in a oilway.
cheers
