so , this motor has been babied , religiously serviced , good solid compression still ,
will do a test later today , motor ran ok all summer , but twice it started to burp and fart ,
check the oil , was very full , very thinned out and smelled like gas ,
im reading a common problem , ran this motor since new ,never full bore , but days of heavy rpm in the wind and current , i would drain the oil and refill with 500 ml only , says ta use 800 ml , but kept it lower so wouldnt refill so fast , about after about 30-40 hrs of use , it would overfill and start to run poorly , especially at lower rpm , ive heard this is a common problem , i ran it pretty hard last outting to try and reseat the rings , still making oil though , any suggestions ?? ring job ?? motor still looks new , fires instanly , no oil burnage , worth fixing ?
thx in advance
