I just acquired a 83 evinrude v4 140hp w/ hydraulic tilt and trim and it smokes a lot. I got it running for the first time in 6-8 years anyone have any ideas carbon build up etc? I did run a little more oil just to make sure everything got lubricated. Between 40:1-50:1. It is not smokeless oil either
