    Spark plugs oily looking!

    Just changed the plugs on my 1988 Johnson 200 gt (j200stlccm) and the plugs had what looked like oily gas on them really wet. Is this bad? It ran great this past weekend after putting some sea foam in it. Is this normal or do I have a problem? After I put new plugs in, it started on the first crank without even primming the gas ball or anything.

    2 stroke, Gas, Oil, no problem!



    There is a fine line between \"FISHING\" and just standing in the boat going through the motions!!!

    If the electrodes looked like a coccoa brown then you are on the money.
