Default Mercury 225Hp Optimax, 2000.. Burns too much oil?

Yes, I think it's burning too much oil. I'd expect 2 per 100 - or less.

NO you don't wanna screw with it. A 225 Opti is *far* too expensive a motor
to repair to risk "fiddling" with such a critical system as the oil
injection.

That's one problem to take to a competant mechanic and have checked out.

Change your own plugs, do your own waterpump and lower unit lube, but don't
go sticking the "golden screwdriver" into an Opti.

I would guess the on-board computer has the hiccups. Nothing a backyard
mechanic can fix.
