Excessive exhaust fumes

[drummer]

Hi <br />I've just brought a speedboat fitted with an 1980s Suzuki 60hp 2 stroke Elpto which has had very minimal usage over the last couple of years.<br />On taking it out for the first time on a local river (speed limited to 8knots) my passengers complained of getting headaches from the exhaust fumes. <br />Any suggestions as to what might be causing this and how to rectify?

Is it fuming around the powerhead and out of the lower cowling? If it is I has this problem with an early Yamaha. It was the exhaust cowling in the leg.<br /> It had corrosion as in pitted holes in it. It was very easy to get fixed <br /><br />Just an idea.<br />Cheers<br /> Snapperman

You didn't say if it had oil injection or if you are mixing it at 50 to 1. Change brand of oil. I find the smell of pennzoil semi synthetic tolerable.
