The exhaust horn may be plugged up with a large knob of carbon because
the previous owner used cheap oil and rarely ran it hard. If you remave
the lower unit you should be able to access the exhaust horn to clean
it out. It would also be a good idea to change the water pump impeller
while you are in there.
