Re: help to much oil

oil isn't the problem is what he is saying. check the safety strap, primer bulb, choke and such...

carbed engines with a VRO run a variable rate of oil... 50/1 is the "standard" for safety at WOT and Idle.... but it will run with slightly more/ slightly less just fine.

Ed, We ran 24::1 in the fifties and early 60s, and 16::1 before that. Too much oil in the fuel is not your issue. Do you have spark?
