O/B Vibration ???
Hi there, just happily launched my new SIB with a 25hp Merc 2 stroke.
Everything went well. Just I was a bit concerned by how much the engine was shaking.
Is this due to it being a 2 stroke?
It was the worst at idle then slowly went away as I powered up.
Its no problem just i was wondering if this is normal for a 2 stroke?

I guess you must still be breaking the engine in. Is it double oiled still?

Hi

I think that you will find it is a bit smoother when you are runing on lower oil ratio also you may find that you need to speed up the tickover a little.

Yes, im currently running the engine at twice the oil ration for the recommended break in procedure. That could be the cause.
What do you mean by tickover?

How do you speed up the tickover? Is that when you turn the primer knob clockwise?
