Drain that marine oil out and put in some quality injector oil.
Your going to get alot of headaches by running the marine oil. You will probably end up with a plugged muffler and nasty amounts of carbon buildup in your engine. Do it before you cause more damage to the engine. I buy oil at a local scooter shop that is made just for injector systems on mopeds and scooters. Its about 6 bucks a quart but it saves alot of headaches down the road.

Sounds like your usage is about right. Get that marine oil out now; it make a real mess.
