MrMotor,

I do remember that there was always an 'overflow' of oil/fuel that would exit the back of the boat but this is way over the top. I used 5 Oz of fuel getting it started today and it ran for no more than 2 minutes all together. There was about 3 oz of fuel behind the exhaust. Also, the exhaust runs and exits inside the boat so the exhaust is actualy just below water line at the rear. Also, when I was trying to get it started, I could swear that fuel was coming out of the carby as well, slashing me in the face. (Lucky I have missed the smell of glow fuel so much :-)

Thanks for the suggestion but this is really an excessive amount and there is also the point about getting the thing to idle as long as I had the neddle almost closed, and still there was fuel out of the exhaust.

Thanks,

Martin
