This is my fourth attempt to take a video of this motor running
since I completed it. First three times, with my Nikon camera,
and the videos would not process correctly on YouTube.
This time is with my phone…….. which I have no clue what
I’m doing with……..Hope it works!

Nice work! What kind of oil and mixing ratio are you using? I didn’t even see any smoke.

11:1 mixture, Walmart oil, lol.
The first time I ran it I had to abandon the
garage for a while……. not so bad now.

Its strange that the sound only comes in at the
end of your other video. You Tube accepts so
many formats and you don’t appear to be doing
any editing. Is that the first time you tried using
the Nikon camera? All your other videos came
out fine.
How come the other motors don’t get to watch?

Tubs, I’ve been using the same Nikon camera for several
years now. The videos played fine on the camera, and
on my desktop computer, but not after YouTube processing.
It was the first time I tried taking a video of an outboard
running on my phone, and first time using the phone to upload
a video to YouTube…….. I stumbled through it, but guess it
worked. I had to use my little vise for a bench top phone holder!

How much is 11 to 1? One quart to a gallon? I bet that pollutes your test tank in a hurry!

I think around 12 oz of oil………. yeah, the tank can get pretty mess
running old motors!
