oil at exhaust excessive

[big ken]

hi i bought a 9.9 johnson sailmaster outboard, after rebuilding carb, took it out for a run and seemed to run ok after a while but noticed after sitting at the house with motor in down position i noticed oil had been running out of exhaust holes just above skeg, just seem excessive to me. is this normal? im using a 50:1 mix but not sure what guy before me used thanks ken

Re: oil at exhaust excessive

It is not uncommon to have some unburnt oil run out of the exhaust, especially if the motor was run at lower speeds for a long time, the mixture might be a little rich.
