Hello everybody! I am a brand new boat owner with limited knowlege with working on engines. My Uncle from Michigan just gave me his 1994 Boston Whaler Rage15- It has a two stroke 115hp engine with a jet drive. The engine is actually made by Johnson and Evinrude. The boat was in cold storage for the past 3 yrs- Still had fuel stabilizer in the tank. I towed it back to California and drained the fuel, 2stroke oil, gear case oil, cleaned the carb. I hooked up the hose to the back and started the engine. Started after a few tried and purred like kitten. Small amount of light smoke came out and then blackish oil-like substance also came out with the water. It seems to be coming out of the jet drive but after reading the manual I suppose it was the exaust port.

Is this normal I appreciate your input as I would like to get it on the water this weekend!!

Steve from California
