Default Re: mercury outbourd smoking

all motors smoke just some more than others depending on age of the motor. and all 2 cycle engines are worse than 4 cycle, due to the oil mixed with gas.. are you mixing the gas the same every time? if you mix a little richer than last time it could be why. and your seals may be going bad also.
