A month or so ago I rebuilt my carbs ran out and tested the outboard and everything ran great. I have been recently doing some cosmetic work on my boat and it's been sitting in the driveway I started to outboard a couple time on the hose and what I noticed recently is that there was some oily sludge seeping from the lower exhaust at the prop. Initially I thought It was possibly LU Oil so I drained a bit out and no signs of waterso I pulled the LU checked and no signs of leaking oil in or around the water pump or shifter shaft seal. However, there was residue similar to the crud that was draining out in the exhaust above the LU. I assume this is residual carbon and unburnt two stroke oil.
I checked the spark plugs with an ohm meter and 0 to 0.002 resistance on all I then moved the plugs around to different cylinders and restarted the motor. It started and sludge kept seeping out. Also sounded the same. I tried pulling the wires and what I found was that the rpm and sound didn't change very much when pulling off the lower or middle two plugs but the motor dies if I pull off either of the upper two plugs.
The gas was quite old and the tank was almost empty so I put new 93 in the tank today and ran the outboard only difference was the color of sludge this time it was much lighter before it was between black and tan
Any Ideas?
The outboard is a 1999 C150 TXRX
