Grumpy old man diagnoses two stroke outboard run without oil in fuel

[@nigelthomas8899]

I forgot how much I missed old skool stu....the dodgey tools, the thrills, the chills, all the ups and downs. I like the renko stuff, but getting back to the roots once in a while is excellent. Thank you for service to the world. I never would have bought a boat if it wasn't for you. I still pop back and rewatch videos when i'm having outboard issues, and recommend them to people alot.

I coated 8 mil OD Cerekote to top piston skirt and 2 mils OD on lower 2 skirts to even out 3 pistons to wall gaps. Now motor runs normal again.
