Not a lot. Maybe 15 minutes while I set the idle speed and adjusted the linkages. And not all consecutive. I’ll take it out and run it next week. On call this week so I’m stuck home. Thanks!
Yep, I understand that - but it seems like a ton more oil and smoke than when I ran it in the barrel last year before I did all the work to it. I’ll try the dish soap. Might make my clean up easier!
It’s actually getting a bit better the longer i run it. It could be the fogging oil taking a lot longer to work its way out than I anticipated. The barrel (and consequently my motor) is absolutely disgusting afterwards.
Yep it’s a 70673D. 1976. I know it’ll run and not hurt anything but I’d rather not smoke up the entire marina if I can help it. That’s really my only reason. I pulled the plugs last night ana they seem a little wet with oil. Maybe I’m not getting great combustion. Checked the compression and all...
I think that doesn’t account for the mixed fuel that was already in the tank. I siphoned it out and did a proper mix with synthetic blend and the smoke is less but still what I feel is excessive. Might not be a mix problem. Can’t you edit ana delete posts here? I was going to delete and repost...
Here’s the full story - maybe you have some suggestions. Last fall I blasted the engine (1977 evinrude 70hp) with fogging oil. Took the head cover off, and all the carbs and shot the crankcase with the fogging oil because I was afraid I had leaking exhaust plates and was getting some water in...
Did something dumb. Had a 6 gallon tank with approximately 1.x gallons left in it. On autopilot, I dumped in 16oz of 2-cycle oil, and filled it up. How much fuel do I need to drain out of the tank and replace with straight gas to get the mixture back to 50:1? I feel like this is an SAT question...
