Should have put in title of post, 4 stroke...
And, pretty sure, there's a gas smell on dipstick.
Bought as new in 2016...paper work - 2015.
After about a month and a half, cranked outboard, started quick
as usual, then puff of smoke.
No smoke next day on cold start.
This is my first 4 stroke outboard.
And yes, I'm used to outboard 2 strokes...
Help on advice... I don't think this is normal...
Told shop on 100 hour service to NOT fill oil to top of dipstick.
I trusted them and didn't check oil level until later on and it I seemed just below max level.
Now, it's at max... Got pics and video of cold start...
Thanks for advice...
Feeling a bit down now.
And, on vacation..
