Thats just all the crad that goes in the tank. The sluge from old gas and stuff looks like oil.
I had it in my tank also. Removed tanks and cleaned all, reinstalled and good to go,

In your case I think the Seafoam syuff is your best bet to clean it all out,

well my first question is what is a STATOR?? ??? not sure what you are talking about. sorry remember i am a rookie at this. sorry

the second thing is that i thought the oily substance was just crap from over the years. i will add some sea foam.

thanks fellows

Scrap stinky's post, he's talking about outboards. The more we beat this horse,.....I keep wondering about ignition components. When on the way out they tend to show their symptoms after their warmed up. Hate to throw in more variables but it could be your coil breaking down, and that'd be a good thing cause their cheap.

I've gotta chip in here, I've blown 3 stators in 8 years on a mariner 100, and when they start getting close to death they'll just crank her over less and less reliably until one day there's not enough power to go. When I've been running with bad stators, they have consistently run fine once you get them to run. Maybe Mariner makes different stators, but that's been my experience.

Try changing your coil & purlpe resistance wire that runs from the coil to the back of the choke. Also pull the plate in the distribributor under the point and spray some wd 40 on the springs and clean up any rust to make sure as you twist the pate it springs back and is free working so your spark advance can work.

Don't do the following until you have corrected your problem.

The best thing that I did to my 470 was to do away with the points and put on an electronic conversion kit. She starts with the touch of the key and has held timing for the past 4 seasons.

Good Luck
