recently bout a boat with a 1990 Mercury outboard 60HP.
I noticed on startup that there is a bit of what i'd consider excessive smoke from the exhaust and the idle seems a bit rough.
The seller assured that this was because the engine was being started for the first time since coming out of winter storage.
However two weeks later and when I start it (with the air muffs) to flush the engine, there is still a bit of what i'd consider excessive smoke, and the engine seems to idle a bit rough. I was kinda attributing it to the fact that this is a two stroke engine, so its expected, but i'm not sure.
Tell tale signs? Thoughs?
Thanks.
