    theyare all dirty in a tub….when the incoming load of fuel oil  pushes out the exhaust on the up stroke  both in and out ports are open  so fuel oil   bypasses the cyl  and ends up outside in the exaust….and the water in the tub.

    conclusion…. don’t worry about it 🙂   that is why  modern EFI engines consume much less fuel   since  all the fuel   is burnt up  before leaving the cylinders .  oil is mostly used  outside the cylinders  being routed (pumped)  directly  in the crankcase  for lubrification. my 75 ETEC burn .6l/hr trolling !  next to nothing compared to  my 9.5hp  from the 60s
