[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 262648, member: 7791"] Stick with the 50:1 mix and do not run leaner fuel. Try adjusting your carburetor instead. I don't know mercs well so I wouldn't know how to tell you to do it on a merc. You may have a slow speed idle screw that will lean out the motor. Some years ago I changed the seals in my 9.9 johnson thinking the same thing you were thinking, only to find out the seals were fine and I still had some exhaust leakage :oops: Basically the same thing that guy did that posted that on google :lol: 1-2 oz is not excessive and you should be fine [/QUOTE]
