Nobody has yet replied to my earlier transmission, so I tried under a new subject...hope it worked.<br /><br />I touched on the subject once last week, but found little help. I have a 1986 115 Yamaha that I believe to be running rich. I know 2-cycles are notorious for smoking, but it seems a bit excessive. I flushed the engine today on the muffs and found after 5 minutes or so the grass under the the prop was a bit blackened (with oil).<br /><br />The engine runs great. However sometimes on idle a bit rough. She has died out just a couple times as I put it into gear (which I associated it with running rich...). Is this a potential problem, or an easy fix? <br /><br />It is an oil injected engine, I would assume there must me some type of adjustment to fine tune to fuel/oil mix?!?!?!<br /><br />any input would be much appretiated

Re: Smokey

The only problem you have is that you own a 2 stroke carbed engine. On the muffs or in a tank they smoke like crazy. On the water they spread it out so that you notice it less.<br /><br />Now PLEASE post your question once and be patient. We get three or four pages of questions a day and multiple posts of the same question increase the clutter and are not fair to other posters.<br /><br />Thanks.

Re: Smokey

I asked for help, not sarcasm. I understand I may have posted a few times....sorry to the board. But, however was experiencing problems on my end here and wasn't sure if the message posted properly.
