Just doing some tests at home in a bucket and there seems to be a lot of oil / sludge discharge. Is this normal? How much oil, pollution should an old motor put out? Do I have a leak somewhere or should I just buy a four stroke!<br />Thanks
It builds up very quickly idling in the barrel, especially if you've got the idle mix set a little rich, a slight miss, or are starting and stoping a lot. Two strokes are rarely very efficient at idle speeds.<br />If you're really concerned, there are more biodegradable TC-W3 outboard oils. Shell makes one. And don't forget the environmental costs of manufacturing a brand new outboard.
man if you can afford it, get you a 4 stroke...there are lots of pro's and cons to 2 verses 4 stokes but the bottom line for me is......A 4 stroke will run on low compression, a 2 won't!!!
