Re: oily
Seagulls are two stroke outboards, either run on 10:1 or 25:1 Petrol: Two stroke oil mix depending on which model you have. The black oil you see coming out of the exhaust is just the left overs from the combustion process.
Which seagull have you got?
Is it up and running or are you doing a restoration job on it?
