A little oil is normal. That is what keeps the crank from siezing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBansheeMan Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 If you had no oil in the bottom then your crank would seize up. The oil in your fuel mix lubes the crank ant topend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Excessive is not good, it either means a bad clutch side crank seal, too rich fuel/air mixture or poorly seated rings. A little is fine...as said, two strokes don't dip in oil...they get it all from their fuel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmd0346 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 If its the same oil as you run in your gear box then you have a problem. If its pre-mix oil then that is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
