I was given and 1997 30hp 2 cyl 2 stroke that had been stored for about three years. The 2 stroke oil had been drained so I started it using the oil injection and a 50:1 oil mix in the gas tank. Before starting I bled the input line at the oil pump to make sure there were no air bubbles in the line. I was going to put in new spark plugs but when I pulled the old ones they looked brand new so I continued to use the old ones. When I turned it over it started right up with a puff of smoke then after running for only a little while smoked only a little bit. I have bled the oil line four times and ran it four times for about 10 min each time with the same results. I pulled the spark plugs and they were still very clean but wet. Running it 10 min at a time has not even got the heads warm and would expect a cold motor to smoke more but I don't know. So running the pre mix and a cold motor shouldn't I be seeing a lot of smoke? Running it a total of about 40 min should I be seeing something other than clean wet plugs? Could I be looking at water washed spark plugs? Sorry I can't post any pics at this time. Any thoughts? Thanks.
