On "making oil".......

I stumbled onto that situation by accident after buying my new boat. Let's just say it was way up there on the ol' dipstick. I guess the Yammys are especially good at this.

Anyway, my only point is that I'm surprised the engineers haven't figured a way to boost spark or make a slight decrease in fuel at idle, which I'm told is where this phenomenon happens. I'm no gearhead, but its pretty apparent what the problem/result is, and seems there are at least two potential ways of fixing it. They figured how to dial in the oil mixture on some new 2 cycles to the point that they're s'posedly better on emissions than a 4 stroke.
