is working on outboard motors and boat motors in general specialised? or can any motor mechanic dabble in it?
If it's under warranty it has to be a registered dealer for that engine, any newer engines lets say 4 strokes from the 90's on will have plug in diagnostics and that info/equipnent is only given to a registered mechanic for that make of engine although some can be bought online much like the one for cars. Older engines like 2 strokes can be worked on by anyone with a bit of mechanical knowhow as there are very few mechanics nowadays willing to work on them "gone are the days when you learned to tune a carb by listening to the air intake screw or put a bit of wood to your ear to hear what cylinder is knocking

Don't forget to consider the colour of the exhaust! A local guy here is great with chainsaws and brushcutters but would not touch an outboard for any amount of money.........Older engines like 2 strokes can be worked on by anyone with a bit of mechanical knowhow as there are very few mechanics nowadays willing to work on them "gone are the days when you learned to tune a carb by listening to the air intake screw or put a bit of wood to your ear to hear what cylinder is knocking"........0 -

It depends on the engine / fuel. Generally, exhaust smoke and residue build-up inside are good indicators of what can be ‘wrong’ with an engine. For e.g. continuous black smoke or a very sooty build-up suggests a fuel burn problem so indicates an air filter or fuel injection problem. Blue smoke usually means burning too much oil, so probably worn piston rings/valve seals. Unless of course you have a Seagull, which means that it remains clean and shiny, clamped to the transom, inactive, while you row home

Good for your engine and the environment while smelling like a chipper
