"Hello, I have got a mariner 5
"Hello, I have got a mariner 55hp (serial number 663L 31215) it has been out of the water for about 5 years. it starts and runs ok and idles with no noticeable smoke. When it is run with the flush muffs on again it doesn't smoke but when i put the motor in a container with water (as if it was in the sea) it will idle with no smoke but when I give it a rev it bellows oily smoke up through the covers and out any opening it can. I am running 50:1 fuel mix and i have renewed the entier fuel system, lines, filters etc and I have cleaned out the carbs.
Any help would be appeciated
Many thanks,
David"
