I was wondering how can I tell if my motor fuel / oil ratio is correct. Its oil injected. I checked the spark plugs and they seem kinda dry, should they be wet with oil? Motor is new to me so I just want to make sure before I run it to much. Thank you,

Kevin

Don't worry about plugs just try to find good ground on that motor.... You'll never hear the end of this.

How is it running ???? If you are not very trustful of oil injection, plug inlet to oil pump and run 50:1 mix.

Side note:

Anybody need some good lighting work, this guy is a Pro, I can guarantee his work, 100% endorsed positively by me, seriously.

dry is good, with a tan or light brown coloring, however the color of your plugs can vary quite a bit depending what you were doing with the motor just before you inspect them, like wide open across the lake then stop and check them they"ll be very light color and trolling for extended periods will darken them up, also good quality 2-stroke oils go a long way to keep plugs from loading up (that oily look you mentioned). hope this helps alittle, good luck fishn'

I bought an 11 millimeter socket now Valv, no more bad ground here, lol.

I like that Idea of mixing my oil, I may try that, thanks!

And thanks for the spark plug info also:)

It's up to you about mixing it, but if you used motor at least twice, nothing happened to it, and compression is still the same, I would not worry about it.

Tom is right, the plugs are always dry.
