Hi All

My Series 3 Li RT195 has recently been rebuild. The engine starts and runs Ok but I have noticed back stuff dripping from the exhaust pipe. It is thin watery liquid. Not too sure but could be a petrol mixture.

Any ideas? I do know that the petrol oil ratio was extremely high when received as the builder deliberately increased the oil content during the rebuild.

Rob

plug must be the same too?

No the plug is extremely clean, in fact looks brand-new! I must add that I have not run the engine up to temperature yet as was concerned about the Black Stuff.

drop the oil ration to 3% and take it on some long runs, the black stuff will be unburn 2 stroke oil.

Thanks for the advice. Will do as you suggest.

Will feedback.

Just to clarify. Is the black stuff dripping from the tailpipe of the exhaust, or is it coming from, say, the exhaust manifold?

Yes from the tailpipe end

In which case, as Coaster says, go for a long run and get the engine hot
