It would be odd with no other symptoms but if the tank is building some pressure due to not venting completely it could possibly push the fuel through to the carb. Jmo
I have heard that Piranha Props can send you different pitched blades for you to try out and you only pay for the ones you keep.
Personally I can’t wrap my head around a plastic prop but they are supposedly tough and if one blade should break and get damaged you only need to replace that blade...
Do you by chance have a marina close by that will let try different props? My locals do but I’m also on a small island and good customer service word of mouth travels fast so they do their best to provide a good service.
Maybe worth ask around.
It’s not that uncommon on a motor of that age. Unburnt fuel and oil makes it way out the exhaust.
Any pic of the slick to see how much your talking about?
Glad you found the pups. Mine refuses to get off the couch so I have no worries.
I was thinking a hunting group or forum as well.
Probably be a good place to start anyway.

I vote for poor quality materials and fuel.
Things just aren’t what they used to be.
Every company is looking to save a few bucks at the consumers cost.
Yea the super glue and baking soda is an amazing thing. I use it all the time for wood repair. I even did it in layers once and drilled and tapped and its still holding up years later.
Yes it would be on the controls or somewhere on the helm. Usually a red in color with a black connector. I had to ask as they sometimes get stepped on or bumped into and come off.
No lanyard no spark.
