I premixed it for this. I have heard I should have done double oil, but the guy who did my machine work (in his 80s been doing this for a long time) said not to use double oil. I am going to clean the carbs. I also had ordered a new water pump kit because mine was getting warm at low rpms so...

Yes sir thats what I mean. I used a ton of it to get the needle bearings to stick.

I will say though, I used a ton of grease when I was putting the motor back together. Do you think soo much grease could have been the culprit?

I was using lucas semi-senthetic 2 stroke oil. No I had the boring and honing done at a machine shop, but now since I have to do it over again I am going to do the honing myself, but not with a ball hone.

Rebuilding my 2 stroke again after I just rebuilt it. Looks like it wasnt cleaned properly, but can't say for sure if that is what this is. Anyone have any idea what this scaling is?

What do you guys make out of this scaling in the exhaust ports?

I did clean it with a pressure washer and some dawn, but I would not say impossible that there was something stuck up in there. And just for more situational awareness, I ran it according to the break in instructions for about two hours before this finally happened. It wasn't until the end of...

You mean where the spark plugs are? It looks fine. No damage or anything. Would the debris come in from the exhaust side? Or just the intake?

I did not check the clearance. The guy bored it to 0.31 over, which is what the merc manual says. I did not check the piston to bore clearance, but I know he did after honing. Do you think this looks like it wasn't bored to the right clearance?

I had it machined at a reputable shop, but I reassembled it. I am in NE Florida. The pistons and cylinders felt like there was still some lubrication.

Would it be a safe bet to just restore the oil injection system?
