[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 408278, member: 12995"] I wonder if one of the floats is set too high allowing excess fuel/oil. I assume you're running pre-mix, what ratio are you using? My 94 Mercury 60/45 had the oil injection pump go bad so I pre-mix synthetic at 80:1 and still get an initial puff of smoke when starting it. I think one of my carb floats is off, but it runs pretty good so I really don't want to make it worse. If you're running regular 2 stroke at 50:1, you could try switching to synthetic and run 80 or 100:1 which should reduce the smoke a bit. I've run synthetic in several motors now and haven't had any issues, but I usually don't run around at WOT either. [/QUOTE]
