i would like to order parts for our 1988 mariner 100hp, oil injected .
problem: piston number 2 melted......... and piston number one started slapping against the bore (standards), . is the problem from the fuel getting richer ? (the oil pump has been disconnected) iam running a two stroke mixture @ 50:1 . i decided to keep pistons 3 and 4 standard , and just put in new rings ,. pistons 1and 2 will need to be 15 thou oversize , (because of the damage) , is there any problem with this set up ? Do i have to change the jets to stop the fuel from getting richer?, or change our fuel mixture?, as we dont want to reconnect the oil pump.
