Smoky..

[2mate]

Hi guys well i have a evinrude 20 from around 1973 and i mean she runs sweet as a nut but she smokes quite abit. When throttled up she puffs out blue smokeas if she is running to rich. I think this is probably just bore wear tho? Would the mixture adjusting nob on the front help it out?
Cheers

Re: Smokey..

Are you running it at 50:1? It's common for motors to smoke a lot, if you're running it in your driveway. Taking it out on the water, it's less noticeable. Low speed knob should be 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 turns out from lightly seated.

Search this forum for 'decarb procedure' and you'll see SMOKE! It may get better after your done, and you'll get any accumulated carbon off the inside of your powerhead. I do it every couple years.

Re: Smokey..

It is supposed to smoke. If it were not smoking, you would have some serious problems.

You are running it in a barrel, aren't you? Get it out of that barrel and on a boat on the lake. That is where it was designed to run.
