So it's a new to me 99 8hp evinrude 4 stroke.
I've had it out on the water 3 times total. Starts great, Runs great, lots of power (for an 8) .
So the first time out after many starts and shutdowns it puts out a cloud of blue smoke out of no where, smoke clears and no sign of
blue for the rest of the day. Second time out fished all day with no sign of blue.
Third time was fine all day, then while idling, poof cloud of blue, then gone and no sign of blue for the rest of the day.
This doesn't sound like rings, does it? Also if it was a valve seal issue it should smoke on start up (did once, but not second time).
external leak burning off? motor seams clean though.
any ideas?
