if you have to ask such a basic question perhaps you have no business
operating said motor? you are a potential danger to all innocent bystanders in the area where you operate this motor and vessel. may i suggest you take up basket weaving or another indoor activity far away from the public. |

I disagree. He came to a place where he could count on people with similar experiences lurking. Another option would have been talking to a Johnson dealer. The people who shouldn't be around boats are the yahoos who refuse to ask advice and do whatever strikes their fancy. |

Thank you all. Its not my engine, I'm just fixing it. I replaced the
head gasket and put in the carb kit, but it still smokes white on start up. However, as the smoke goes away under load, I don't think we're looking at a ring job - yet, in spite of burning 100:1 for a season. The owner has been duly advised and admonished to mix his fuel to 50:1. Oh! One more thing: 'Meye5", you are truly a sublime yet pathetic asshole. Gary |

oups.com: The owner has been duly advised and admonished to mix his fuel to 50:1. It's probably too late. All my 2-stroke marine engines have always run a quart of TC-W3 to every 10 gallons, premixed. I think there's a sweet deal between the EPA and the 2-stroke manufacturers..... "You tell 'em to run 50:1 or 100:1 that'll wear the engines out faster, and we'll let you continue to build such amazingly simple engines at such amazing profit margins." When I sold the Sea Rayder it was crowding 1000 hours on a 150hp 6-cyl carb'd Mercury Sport Jet. It ran ratios less than 40:1 its whole life....probably 30:1 or so in that tank. You could still see the hone marks on the cylinder walls if you poked a borescope down in that spark plug hole. Compression was more the day I sold it than it was the day I bought it because the rings had "settled in"...(c; If it ain't smokin'....it ain't lubin', either! It's a 2-stroke, you know. -- Larry |

It's a 2-stroke, you know. I don't even think outboard two strokes are that simple. The evinrude 55HP I stripped after it threw a rod, had roller bearing mains and con rods - like you wish auto engines had. Brian Whatcott Altus OK |

Brian Whatcott Altus OK How do you install Roller Bearings on connecting rods? All the Roller Bearings used in engines I have ever seen, were on single cyl engine cranks that could be pressed on from each end. I would think that any split shell Roller Bearing, would be less robust than a regular shell bearing in the same application. Me just wondering........ |
