Mercury 200HP making oil on break in??
I have around 7.5 hours on my break in on a 2021 Mercury 200HP 4 stroke on a 2021 Falcon 195. I noticed the motor puffing smoke on start ups which I have read is common and decided to check the oil it is at the top of the top yellow beads cold maybe slightly over that. Oil has a gas smell to it I fear im making oil and the rings have not set is that normal? Im sure some gas is going to sneak past the rings in break in. I did the break in by the book thus far. One thing I could not do is run it past about 5400 RPMs from the chime walking 65 was my Top speed at 5400RPMs . Do I need to run it to 6K RPM playing with the jack plate? to help seat the rings? Its the only thing I have not done I have done the heating cycles and under 3500RPM 1st hour varied under 4500 2nd hour and ran it no more than 1 minute WOT for every 10 minute of running. I have not ran it WOT for longer than 5 minutes. Any help or insight would be appreciated.
