I just finished a complete tune up on my outboard and it runs very well. I have not had it under a load yet (actually on the water) but when I run it in a barrel and then shut it down I get a fair amount of black oil dripping from what I believe is my exhaust port directly above the prop. Typical, or do I have a problem? Thanks in advance.

that's normal 2 stroke sludge... to make it nicer use fully synthetic oil... it's biodegradable...
