Hello, We have a 50 hp Mercury on our pontoon, we do not know year probably 10 years old. It was running fine last fall when we put it away. We tried starting it up on Mother's day and it is dumping the 2 cycle oil into the Carberator. This outboard is oil injected. It rolls over but due to too much oil in the cyclinders it will not fire.:confused:

try spraying some seafoam or fogging oil into the carbs just to test start it. im not sure if you could temporarily disconnect the oil injector and premix the gas oil. anyone else here know if you can do that safely???
