[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 418121, member: 15636"] Heck YEAH ... on 2-strokes, or if stored wrong on a 4-stroke as the other reply stated. How is the oil? Have you checked the level? Running OK otherwise? You may want to consider re-breaking it in to ENSURE that the rings were broken in correctly. Or even an abbreviated version, specially the portion where you get it warm, push her up on plane, vary the RPMs every 15-minutes, cruise a bit, limit high speed ops, the drop off plane and push back up onto plane again & repeat. It is the [i]getting up on plane and applying power [/i]that helps set the rings. When 4-strokes first hit the boating world, some were known to 'make oil', where fuel dripped past the rings after shutdown, as the owners 'babied' the motors. That's what I'd do if it were mine and I was concerned ... [/QUOTE]
