Default Probably a TK question.
I noticed today that my boat is mixing the oil VERY rich. I went through almost a gallon of oil today. It's starting to have a hard time staying running. Does anyone know if this is an easy fix? I don't premix I have a gas and oil tank.

Unless you have an OptiMax I would disconnect the oil injection and start premixing.

I never had a problem with anything until the first time I had a problem with it.
You are lucky the it is pumping too much oil. If it did not pump any you would have a major problem.
Have you looked to see if there is a leak and the oil is going in the boat?
Good to know that you are out of the hospital.

Thanks you for Sambolie, I am out and I fished all day yesterday on G ville then drove home yesterday afternoon. It's not leaking because it is burning that oil, I looked like a freight train while idling yesterday.

I don't know how often TK will be on here as he is in recovery right now.
