Hey guys I have a 1975 2stroke 50 hp Johnson that I just purchased. Well I hooked up the water "ear" muffs to it and ran it a little again and now I am noticing black oil spitting from the prop and there is some also that is leaking from the reverse side maybe the gear shaft. It smells like oil and gasoline mixture. Also this is not gear oil. Any ideas? Thanks

I had a similar issue with mine I decarbed and put in new plugs it seemed to fix it . I think it just years of gunk built up in the exhaust housing .
