Motor has less than 20 hours on it. Recently ran thru almost a full gallon of oil for about 20 gallons of fuel burned.......which is way excessive. Finding unburned oil residue in my motor well area all over the primer bulb....no visible hose leaks. Motor shows dark smoke and is rough on startup......loads up occassionally at high speed. Any help on where to begin troubleshooting on this one would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vince
