[QUOTE="Incahiker, post: 185136, member: 4777"] I decided to do a deep creep treatment for my 4hp mercury. The motor is in a water bucket in the drive way so it will suck up the water (doesn't have muffs). I started to spray deep creep directly in the carborator and the thickest smoke I have ever seen came out, I did this for a while then sprayed it into the carb until the motor died. I fired her back up after 10 minutes and about choked to death :shock: , lol.... : Anyhow, after the treatment I noticed that the water of bucket had turned to sludge.. is this a bad sign? The water had never turned to sludge before running in the bucket. I thought that the lower gear unit had a leaky gasket, but I smelled the sludge and it smelled like 2 stroke fuel. So.... do you think that was just the crap coming out of the motor and going out the exhaust,or do I have a bigger problem? My motor sure did idle a hell of a lot stronger after the treatment, but I could not put it in gear because it was in a bucket, but I will find out this weekend if it is any better. [/QUOTE]
