Ok, I just bought an '86 force 50 that's been sitting for a couple years. It had a bad condenser. I replaced it, and it ran perfect for about 20 minutes or so. I pulled the plugs, and they were coated with oil. Turns out, I had mixed the gas at 16:1 instead of 50:1 (should have checked this website first). I'm getting ready to replace the gas, but I need to know if an incorrect mixture will cause it to backfire. When I try to start it, my neighbors hit the ground. Will replacing the gas stop the backfire, or is the timing off? Any ideas?
