When I go to start my ski, the spark plug closer to the battery begins to smoke, almost as if it was loose. So I tightened it and still smoke comes out. I had just replaced the spark plugs and removed the cylinder cover (I could see the pistons, not sure exactly what the cover is called), don’t know why I did but I did!
Is it a loose gasket from removing the cover? Kind of strange it is only out of one plug.
My other theory; I took out the oil tank to fill the seams so it no longer leaked oil and when getting it out I ended up dumping some oil into the lower half of the engine when the carb was off. I tried to clean most of it out but do not think it was completely out.
Maybe I need to run the ski and just burn off all the extra oil that I unfortunately added to the bottom half. But doing this I am concerned that it may not be the oil on the bottom and that’ll I’ll ruin the motor.
Thanks for the help!
