Need some help. On January 1st after trolling Topaz Lake for about 3 hrs in cold weather I noticed spots of oil on the water I was done fishing and rived the motor to clear the plugs when all of the oil blew out through the carb breather tube.

I have had other times when gas would show up on the dip stick after trolling for a few days change the oil, new plugs and ok for a few more days.
Any suggestions, three local shops had no idea never ran across that before.

An engine running too cold will run rich and lead to gas in oil. Not sure what water temp you are running but the thermostat needs to be checked to see if working properly, might contact Honda dealers in your area to see if they are having that problem with other engines and what they have done to them.

Thanks, I will look into the thermostat. Maybe run a hotter temp?

Remain with factory temp, just make sure it is working properly.

I will use the factory therm, local Honda dealer said they don't make a hotter one.
Checkout my therm tomorrow, thanks again.
