[QUOTE="WaterWaif, post: 388089, member: 12444"] Ouch. 50 to one two stroke oil to gas ratio.(2.6 oz. of oil per one gallon fuel.) TCW-3 oil recommended. Add oil to fuel tank. Add fuel partly filling tank,rock to mix,add balance of fuel. (Disclaimer)Keep tank grounded around fuel pumps to be safe. Know the fumes need little to ignite so keep away from heat,static, spark ,smoking, pilot lights, ect. There is no other engine lubrication on your two stroke so oil must be added to fuel. The mixture then goes through engine providing lubrication that way ,rather than a crankcase splash method,pump, or injection system. Later two stroke models have oil reservoirs to contain oil and dispense it into system. Four strokes are another system that contain oil separate from fuel. Water impeller should be replaced if it was not recently. Motor must have water circulating through it while running. Depends how long you ran it, and how it was stored before as to possible damage. Here's an older thread about the 20 HP Merc. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=19099 [/QUOTE]
