Last piece of advice, use OEM parts when available....sierra parts if that's all you can get, champion plugs....my motor doesn't like ngk's and run with cam roller 1/4 to 1/2 past the 2 marks......when I looked it up your Pennzoil was the cheapest on the market (wonder what that means)
I do use OEM parts sometimes,but never had bad luck with Sierra parts,and I'll try advancing the timing on the cam ,and ohhh really? I'm definitely going to try some synthetic oil . Thanks
That is what I use and have had my best sucess with. I know you said you have it mixed correctly, but what ratio are you using?? I would assume a 50 to 1.... Your mix can be off only slightly to make excess smoke, so be sure you mix very carefully, especially when adding more mixed fuel to a tank that still has fuel in it. I have found that mixing in a seperate container made a more accurate mix. I always mixed my fuel in 2 or 5 gallon cans. Add oil and the correct amount of gas into those containers, then use these containers to add fuel to the boat fuel tank. If you add oil then add fuel to the boat tank itself, it becomes very easy to get the mix ratio off and normally, off means a much richer oil mix.
Not sure what your location is, but Pennzoil TCW3 is considered a premium two cycle oil in my area unless you move to full synthetic. I have worked at various marina's here on the great lakes and most all highly recomend Pennzoil tcw3 or moving to synthetic.
I would first check to make sure your thermostat(s) are operating correctly. Will cause excessive smoke in colder temps if the motor isn't getting up to temp and or staying there.
Ok I was wondering if switching to full synthetic oil would make less smoke,and cleaner burning, thermostat is operating properly runs where it should be,I'm going to try some different oil
North West Ohio here,what's a good synthetic brand oil to try? There's so many options
Try amsoil....they run at 100 to 1
Agreed, the speed of the emm is amazing when you think about it
Give me a two stroke motor anyday over a 4 stroke,no comparison, definitely not inferior!
ETECs solved it by not mixing oil and gas although the early ones like my 2005 did slip in some oil in the fuel line. That was stopped around 2008 .
But I have been told that returning home smelling like unburnt two stroke oil is an aphrodisiac! Something to considerETECs solved it by not mixing oil and gas although the early ones like my 2005 did slip in some oil in the fuel line. That was stopped around 2008 .
ETEC in and out ports are CLOSED before the fuel is injected and results in a clean burn meeting EPA standards. None of the inbound fuel exits the exhaust ports.
Anyone trolling an old 2 stroke with a backwind knows to turn around and troll upwind
