Too much oil - help

[dhardin78737]

I recently bought a 18.5' Javelin with 130 hp Johnson (1995). It has oil pump and separate oil tank. I accidently added oil into the gas at 50:1 so basically I have twice the oil I need...probably about 10 gallons of gas in tank.

Any ideas what I need to do?
Can I just run this tank of gas out and then refill with just gas?
Should I try to unhook oil pump?
Do I need to drain the gas tank? If so, how?

Would appreciate any advice you could give.

Thanks

Run it out, it won't hurt anything. That's the way you break in a new motor or a rebuild.

You will probably get a little more smoke than usual.

I agree also,the worse that can happen is fouling out a plug

I agree with te other posters. If you can add more gas to the tank, that will dilute the mix, and give less smoke. I will doubt you will foul a plug. The older motors ran 24::1 and 16::1 with magneto ignitions and didn't foul plugs. You have a hot-firing CDI ignition.
