Yamaha s225txrx. Had a lot of carbon built up on the o2 sensor. The motor would jump from 2200 to 3300 rpms without moving the throttle. Also was very hard to start. Once I cleaned and bench tested the o2 sensor and reinstalled, the motor ran great and started right up for about 3 mths. Now the motor has a lot of oil in the chambers. The spark plugs and o2 sensor fouls out with oil all over them. I did a sync and link on the throttle body. Checked the tps and crankshaft position sensor. Adjusted the oil link rod. It was still set at the original break in from the dealer. Checked spark and compression. All good. The o2 sensor bench tested good. I checked the spark plug boots and some where out of spec. I would think if those are the problem then it would be isolated to the cylinders that the spark plug boots where out of spec. Not all the cylinders. The motor still fires up great but shakes at idle and while increasing rpm. Also at top end the boat goes 44mph. The motor will lose a few hundred rpms and drop the speed down to 39 mph until you back off then it sometimes goes back to wot. The vst maintains pressure even when the issue occurs. It also has bean cleaned. The lp fuel pumps where replaced because of one leaking. Replaced spark plugs as well. Still runs rough and shakes at idle. I pulled the fuel rail and inspected the injectors. Looks clean and good. I don't know why there is so much black oil on the piston heads and the chambers as well as the spark plugs and the o2 senor. I have a d.v.a. coming in a couple days to test the stator. Im lost on the cause of excessive oil.
Thanks for any help

Check the spark plug wire caps, they are resistor type and degrade over time. I believe they should be no more than 5000 ohms (I believe, might want to do a search as I don't have my specs here). Also, bench testing an O2 sensor is a waste of time.. do a search on OX66 O2 sensor testing and test it installed in the water, not on a hose. O2 sensors need to be cleaned every 100 hrs.

Re: ox66 excessive oil in all cylinders

I checked the boots all read 5.4-6.0 killa ohms. I checked the o2 sensor while running putting out .6

This is how I test O2 sensors:
place your finger over the idle air bypass hole on the top throttle plate. you should see a rapid change in voltage. up to .8 or so. now remove the finger, you should see a rapid drop in voltage. and while the motor is just running it should scale between about .35 and .6 volts and never remain very steady

Also -- have you hooked up a winky-blinky to check system status?

They run about $120 - well worth having in the toolbox.

The motor has a flash back tool but you can't hook up ydis to it?

Ok. None of this is getting me any closer to figuring out why there is so much oil build up in the cylinders. Rodbolt do you have any suggestions? Dont have time to keep ordering tools that i dont have and waiting.

Re: ox66 excessive oil in all cylinders

if I am not mistaken, the is a little rubber tube that attaches to the top and the bottom of your carb cover. make sure both tubes are connected are it will keep pouring oil into the motor

There's two tubes on the bottom of the intake silencer.

Rodbolt does not come here anymore. He is over at a competitors website.

Re: ox66 excessive oil in all cylinders

All of the cylinders and spark plugs are the same oiled up.
Changed spark plug boots and primer ball because the last one wasnt holding prime. New one is but the spark plug boots didnt help. The old boots where mostly in spec but a couple where out.
ran the boat on the water same conditions new plugs built up/fouled out. Same conditions. Checked the spark plugs on land and all wet. Now i have lost all spark on the starboard side.
