Oily Plugs

[cocodrieboy]

I just replaced my plugs in my Merc 125.<br />After running it for a few hours, the plugs are really oily. <br /><br />What does that indicate?<br /><br />Compression is 140 on all cylinders.

Re: Oily Plugs

What oil ratio are you using? Sounds like it might be a little rich.

It is. I'm got an oil injector and I add a little to the tank for for good measure.<br /><br />Are oily plugs indicative of any problem other than fuel/oil ratio?

I'd be alot more worried if the plugs were dry! As long as it sounds and feels like it's running on all cylinders I'd say run it.
