25hp evinrude seems to be discharging a lot of oil and smoking quite a bit. Ideas as to the most likely issue(s)? Just ran it in a barrel today for the 1st time in a month...

If you added oil first to a empty portable fuel tank, that would force raw oil up into the carburetor float chamber. That'll make it smoke quite a bit for awhile.
If the engine sat awhile the gas could evaporate somewhat in the carburetor which would leave a excess amount of oil in there.
Then it's possible that someone made a 24/1 mixture instead of the required 50/1 mixture.
Right off the top of my head, I can't think of anything else UNLESS that smoke is white instead of a very dark color. White smoke would indicate water entering the powerhead's combustion chamber.Comment

Thanks- maybe it's just evaporation! Cranked fine this morning- dark smoke. Didn't appear to be quite as much oil
