For the cleaning part, I would say to remove it from the engine, dump and dispose of the oil. Pour some engine degreaser in the bottle with some water and slosh it around and repeat a few times til the oil is gone. Then rinse it with fresh water until there are no traces of oil or degreaser in the bottle. Then dry it very well, maybe with a hair dryer and make sure all the water is gone. Then reassemble. Also this will give you good chance to change / inspect the filters on the lines. As far as how everything hooks up and the mystery parts you found, a service manual should tell you everything you need to know about install and hook ups. I know on some motors there is a bleeding process you have to go through to get air out of the lines after a bottle or line removal. Heard it was simple but I've never done it. Wish I could be more help. Good luck. here

What I found was some think chunky particles in the tank. The pipe that sucks the oil out when the engine is running does have a filter on it but i'm wondering:

Re: How to clean oil reservoir for 2-stroke engine more

[nephia]

I noticed on mercurys parts express website that I can buy my particular engines user manual, parts list, and service manual. The service manual is $70 though and I am wondering if the part's list would do it $25 OR if this reservoir is just a seperate entity entirely.

[yturroiepe]

what is the best method to clean the inside of the reservoir? Can I blast the inside with a hose with water and then just drain into a can for proper disposal?

[Bth8]

If the muffler is heavily carboned, take it apart and don’t put it back together until little or no carbon is fouling work area beneath it.

[nowhereman]

After all the carbon is removed to your satisfaction, sand the surfaces lightly; this will effectively prevent carbon from building up quickly. Sand with number 400 paper, then number 600, both of them wet. After you’ve achieved a mirror finish, take a moment to admire your reflection in the parts and then button everything back up because your done.

Another method use to remove carbon buildup, which I hesitate to mention, is to pour flammable liquid in the chamber and slosh it around. Then put a match at the end of the pipe to make the vapor flash. Benzene, charcoal lighter, or kerosene will do. Be very, very careful when using this method. It is no fun thing to have little bits of chamber embedded in your forehead. Also, please remove the chamber from the bike before attempting any heavy-duty pyrotechnics.
After either torching or burning up of the chamber, rap the pipe with a 2×4 for a while, and carbon should fly out. Check out the carbon residue on a newspaper to see how much was hidden in the chamber. [links]

The most notable symptom is a loss of power. In short, you’ll just want to push your old two-stroke into the weeds because it’s running so poorly. It might also become hard to start, and/or heat up and continue running after the motor is shut off. To an untrained troubleshooter, the symptoms indicate that the timing has slipped or the seals are leaking. more

Once you figure out that your ailing two-stroke engine suffers some excess carbon, don’t just sit there and pat yourself on the back. The worst is yet to come; the crud must be removed. We know some riders would rather change 18 flat tires than have to remove carbon buildup from inside their engines. That’s understandable. It’s messy, boring and time-consuming. more

Then, one day it starts to run a little crummy. So you take the carb apart and check for water crud in there, and everything’s checks out okay. Then you pop a new plug in and take it for a ride. Still weird. In desperation, you double check the air filter and note that it’s clean.

Some machines have removable baffles, in which case the baffle should be removed and then be cleaned separately. The carbon on the cylinder head can be scraped off with a well-worn screwdriver, a butter knife, or what have you. Avoid scratching the surface of the cylinder head or piston. [links]

[hebrew15]

A typical buildup of carbon on a two-stroke piston. Care must be taken to remove the gunk without damaging the surface of the piston and/or forcing it past the rings and into the crankcase where it can damage bearings.

Serious dirtbike racers rarely experience heavy carbon buildup, because they pull the motor down frequently, and removing carbon is a matter of course. However, the casual rider and play racer often performs the absolute minimum maintenance on his bike, and is more likely to suffer the effects of too much black stuff building up.

Re: A must read for all 2 stroke outboard owners. Engines run terrible under load with that much Seafoam. It's just supposed to be a shock treatment to remove carbon. It works best when you spray it directly into you carbs until the engine stalls. Then you let it sit for a while and start it up on regular fuel.

[Tara01]

Subsequently, question is, how much seafoam do I need for a 2 stroke outboard? 1 pint of Sea Foam mixed with 2 pints of fuel will treat several outboards.

Safe & easy to use in all 2- & 4-stroke gasoline marine engines, inboard & outboard. Also great for all types of personal watercraft (PWC). When added to marine engine fuel, Marine PRO works to clean & lubricate your entire fuel system. more
