Hello, everyone. I overfilled the oil on my new (to me) 2006 Nissan 9.8 hp 4 stroke motor. Not sure quite how overfilled it was. Possibly close to a quart over filled. I started the engine at the launch ramp. Blue smoke came out of the exhaust. Not a ton, just a little cloud of smoke. Ran for about 10 secs, maybe less before it shut off. I tried to restart it but the pull start was stuck. When I removed the dipstick, oil started to flow out. I cleaned up the mess and put everything away and started to read about what may have gone wrong and come to learn that overfilling the oil can cause major problems.
I cannot put into words the amount of shame and embarrassment I feel over this.
Please, I need some help. Did I ruin the motor? What do I do next? Thanks for your help.
