Iam new to this and I'm using odonnell fuel it looks real nasty to to me is this normal ??

Odonnel's is yellow if I remember right. I don't know what you mean by nasty unless it's some sort of green brown color or something lol

 

[ilr98]

it leaves such a brownish residue real oily not like the other fuel ..thats what i meant

bottom line i just wanted to know if this was normal ??

 

[Cupooterluvr]

Like in the tank or on the body from the exhaust? Oily residue from the exhaust is completely normal; although if there is a lot of it then the engine might be running rich (unburnt fuel).

yes its real bad and the truck is new ,i have not changed carb settins yet.little scared

cupooterluvr are you a georgia boy??

 

[Cupooterluvr]

That's probably why. The carb settings on a new engine are rich. Until you lean it out it will be pretty oily.

If you lean it out and it is still really oily, you could get an exhaust deflector.

They're basically one size fits all, as long as it isn't smaller than the stinger on the exhaust.
