Two steps forward and a giant leap backwards.
I was getting my Dart ready for its maiden voyage and decided to throw some fresh oil in it. The engine has less than 5 miles on it but it’s been sitting for a few years with start ups roughly every month. Oil never looked bad but I wanted to be safe. This is what I found. Smelled like fuel pretty bad but I wouldn’t think fuel or assembly lube would discolor it that bad. Running a pressure test on the system to check for leaks but part of me still hopes it’s something minor.
