[QUOTE="Vanhoogie, post: 388077, member: 18600"] I just bought a mid 70s John boat with a 20hp mercury 200 outboard. I got her running for a little bit but will not stay running. Here's my stupid question. This being a 2 stroke ( I'm assuming) do I need to put in a oil additive ? I just put regular fuel in the tank. Could that be the reason it will not stay running. ? If so what kind of additive should I use and did I jack something up by starting it up like that. Thanks for any kind of help. [/QUOTE]
