My suggestion is to get the motor surveyed before you buy it, and also request all service records and the owner's manual. Thanks for all the info on the Gamefisher. We bought the motor and took it to the lake yesterday. It seems to smoke a bit at low speeds. Replaced the plugs and checked the fuel filter and lines.
Engine runs smooth.
OK, the smoking at idle may very well be natural, and it's hard to quantify by description. All two-strokes smoke, some more than others. Excessive smoke at idle could be a result of an improperly mixed fuel supply, weak ignition, a missing or malfunctioning thermostat, or perhaps a misadjusted idle mix. That's 1 pint oil to six gallons of gas, or 8 oz. If your fuel or motor is not going to be used for a month or more, adding a stabilizer when mixing will minimize fuel degradation and resultant carburetor deposits.
