    Personally, I wouldn’t worry about the unburned fuel/oil mix that you are seeing in the barrel… it’s a 2 cycle engine and that’s completely normal. In fact any two cycle motor that I’ve ever ran in a test tank will do the same thing, even the modern motors. Just the nature of the beast. Run it 24/1 and have fun! BTW, great looking rig!
