nhinshoreangler Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Three symptoms I've noticed in the last week or so. This is a carbureted 2 stroke motor. (Not HPDI). I've owned the boat and motor for13 years 1. Excessive increase in blue smoke when starting, cold or warm. 2.Very noticeable increase in oil consumption. 3.Oil reservoir on motor is at or slightly over the full line. Motor has about 1000 hours on it and has been completely trouble free. Motor runs great but I'm also noticing a slight vibration in the mid-rpm range. (This could be in my head.) Any ideas?

ififish Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Check the plastic connection between the push rod and the oil injection. These get beittle and break after time. Over abundence of oil is sent if this happens. Spoke to my mechanic about this a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhinshoreangler Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Ordered new white plastic linkage, $18 on Ebay. Temporary fix below. I set the arm so it is about a 1/16" above the stop with the motor in neutral. This is slightly "richer" than factory recommends. I'll see how the boat runs and adjust if needed.
