" Joe, my problem of oiling up

" Joe, my problem of oiling up if motor left sitting for 2 days or more still exists, this with pressure released from fuel line with tote tank disconnected and with motor sitting in an upright position. Motor starts ok and even when it chokes out with the excess oiling a first start it fires straight up, this usually happens 4 or 5 times untill the oiling has cleared itself. Have got into the habit of running it up at home before i go to the boat ramp, does get embarrasing with the smoke cloud.
Could this be a fault with the VRO or fuel solenoid, the manual lever on the solenoid is pointing towards the cyl' head. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. "

" You could check for oil in the fuel line, going to the VRO, by putting the fuel sample in a clear glass jar. There shouldn't be any oil there. I have replaced a good many VRO's for oil leaking back into the fuel line. "
