Thread: I dont know that I like my boat anymore!!!!

Just removed/cleaned the 2psi oil feed check valve,its ok.Started it up,plenty of smoke again.
2 stroke oil coming out of exhaust opening behind annodes.Noticed oil there earlier in the week,put it down to giving the powerhead a good dose of Inox.Fresh oil there since running it.
There are many reports of oil spilling from the oil reservior when full,mine is full,I dont understand if thats the case how it gets into the combustion chamber unless it goes in the airbox.Off for another google.

Mine smoke a bit on start - and it goes shortly there after.

I had a theory, so replaced the oil in the feed tanks with fresh oil and it is better now.

I think there is an issue.Its never smoked like this before.Just got some video footage,its missing every nown again and blowing a cloud of smoke,very noticable.
Will try and post it up.Im going to send it to a boat mechanic I think.

Pull the plugs and check...

Finished playing with it for today.Used an infra red heat sensor whilst running,temps across all 3 cylinders were prety uniform.
Will pull the plugs tommorow.
Andrew

Finally sorted the video.
High idle,cant say how many revs,tacho isnt working,I think I disconnected its power wire whilst wiring the fuel gage(which works a treat).Watch for the increasing smoke then backfire and clouds of smoke.The glass filter which I put next to the primer bulb always seems to stay half full.

I use a 200l plastic drum cut like yours landyandy. I can't get it deep enough for the leg on my 150hp yami so I have to find something deeper! You're welcome to it if you are over this way.

Thanks Chris.
Unfortunately I dont get over that way that often.
They normally turn up at our drum muster point,only got 20lts and 100lts at the moment.
