Why does the gas enter the oil on a outboard motor?
Often, making oil results from gasoline blowing by the piston rings. Excess fuel could be getting into the crankcase due to a leaking carburetor or injector or due to a bad intake manifold. If excess gas is the culprit, you can usually smell it on the dipstick.
What happens if you put too much oil in a 4-stroke outboard?
With too much oil in your engine, its fluid level in the oil pan will be so high that it can be splashed by some of the moving parts in the engine block, specifically the crankshaft lobes and connecting rod “big ends.” That, in turn, can whip the oil into a frothy consistency, like a well-emulsified salad dressing.
What happens if you put too much oil in a boat engine?
What happens when you fill your marine engine with too much oil is the pressure inside the engine begins to build due to the windage in the crankcase and the oil pump. This places great strain on rear main bearing seal. Even after just a couple uses, the seal breaks and the engine will start to leak marine engine oil.
What causes gas in oil on Yamaha outboard?
Had a bad plug on my Yamaha that caused that. Have heard prolonged idling like in trolling will cause it. I would change oil and maybe new plugs. Give it another run before starting to change parts. You might pm BigRiverMarine he is a dealer for susuki.
What happens when you put 4 stroke gas in oil?
Re: 4 stroke – Gas in Oil. You’ve got a faulty fuel pump diaphragm. The fuel pump is powered by a push rod from the camshaft, and a rip in the diaphragm will allow fuel into the rocker cover on the cylinder head, where it mixes with the engine oil and returns to the oil sump.
Why does my four stroke boat keep running out of gas?
But boats may be different. I will keep a close eye on it for sure. It is common in in four stroke boat motors…It is caused by carbon buildup from lots idleing and slow running. Best fix is to mix one ounce of Ring Free to every ten gallons of gas.
What causes gas to get into oil crankcase?
Depends upon how the rings were broken in, the usage pattern of the motor, carbon build up on the rings, and a number of other factors. It is referred to as “making oil”. Google it. A thermostat that is stuck open can cause it also, running cold.

Why does Yahama F115 4 stroke gas in oil issue?
I talked with Yahama and they said that if the rings are not seated 100% and since 4 strokes run cooler that if your running the engine at 3000 rpms or less, then you will get fuel blow-by thus increasing oil level in crankcase. They said I should de-carb the engine using their YIEC solution which I am waiting on my dealer to get in.
Why is there gas in the crankcase oil?
If the motor is running hard enough to plane the boat, water that otherwise cools the oil isn’t splashing on the sump that holds the oil. But boats that are run at non-planing speeds may not heat the oil up very much at all. The water the boat is running in cools the oil which is in the sump beneath the powerhead.
How does the fuel system on a Yamaha work?
This is one part of maintenance you must proactively do for yourself. 1.Install a 10-micron fuel/water separating filter in the fuel line between your fuel tank and your outboard. It filters the gas and allows any water (which is heavier than gas) to safely sink to the bottom of the filter and out of the fuel.
