Thanks for the excellent tip Gary. This may cure the spark plug fouling issue as well. Jim On Sep 27, 2012, at 3:04 PM, GILASAILR@aol.com wrote:

Jim, Try Torco Smokeless Marine 2-stroke oil and make sure the engine is not too deep in the water - exhaust relief holes must be clear. Some folks open them a little more for exhaust relief (+ noise too) and if in a motorwell -some seal with screws. Remember all Black tanks take SAE 140 wt in the gearcase. Mounting angle and height is critical with Seagulls.

GO

go start that sucker up!
