I have a 1965 Evinrude outboard. Had the bottom end redone, top tune up, ect. When I run the boat for any length of time, I put it on the trailer, and it looks like chocolate milk coming out of the weep hole in 2 places. Discouraged, I brought it home, let it sit for awhile, and removed the screw on the bottom. To my surprize, the oil looks like new, which it is. I don't understand how fuel could look so muddy.

Re: Chocolate milk

That is unburned fuel, oil and water, marko.<br /><br />Normal. No worries.<br /><br />Good luck, and welcome to iboats. :)

Re: Chocolate milk

A good thorough decarb of the motor with a can of Seafoam Deep Creep will flush most of that crud out of the exhaust leg, where it has built up over the years.<br /><br />So put a smile on that face, nothing is wrong. :)
