hey again i have a 1969 40hp johnson and i tried to start it and it starts fine but smokes very bad it is white smoke and alot of it i cannot figure this out please help me with advise
It is normal for 2 strokes to smoke on start-up, Boating Man.<br /><br />One might smoke more if there is residual oil in the fuel system, the fuel mix is too rich in oil or there is water getting into a cylinder and making steam.<br /><br /><br />Run her for a little while and see if it clears up some. Make sure you are using a 50:1 fuel/oil mix.<br /><br />Do a compression test and let us know what you find.<br /><br />Good luck.
Also, are you sure it's smoke? Could it be steam? If you're cooling system isn't working properly it will leave a steam trail behind it...<br /><br />- Scott
