I have a 15 hp, mod. number E15ECDE.
While running it with garden hose hooked up, milky oil started coming out the exhaust out of the prop.

The motor has been sitting for about a year.

How deep am I having to go for the fix?

What is the fix?

I did attempt a search in this forum and did not come up with anything.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Gee, I'm surprised you couldn't find anything. That question gets asked almost every day, it would seem. Bottom line is there is nothing wrong with your motor. That is the oil that you put in the gas. It doesn't just disappear by magic. It goes out with the exhaust, where it sometimes emulsifies with water, making that milky stuff. Get it on a boat, on the lake and all will be well.

Sorry about the delay. Fam emergency.

I am grateful for your reply and did not intend to leave you hanging.

I will replace the gas and run it some more.

The engine runs like a scalded dog. 3rd pull and fired right up.

In my defense I didn't get an email notification in regards to any responses, I have now fixed that!

New gas and oil. Changed foot oil. No Signs of water in it.

Started it up and no more milk coming from exhaust.

To much oil mixed with gas seems to have been the problem.

Thank you F_ R for your help and patience.
