Hi everyone, I have a 2002 honda BF50A on my 16 ft maxum. I've had the carbs rebuilt a year ago. Recently I've noticed that the oil was getting diluted with gas. I've done a compression test on the motor fully warmed and got 150psi on #1, 152psi on #2, and 151psi on #3. I've replaced the old T-stat with a 162 degree F T-stat. The motor seems to run warmer now and that seemed to help significantly with the oil getting diluted however the oil even though it looks better it still smells a little like gas. I've also synced the carbs this past weekend. The motor idles at 950/1000 rpms but its not really smooth it seems to shake a little and sputter slightly, not sure if this is normal. Also today I had it out on the pond and I noticed white smoke coming out of the exhaust port when the motor was idling and it also smelled like gas sort of. Any idea what could be causing this?
