I was given a 5 hp Briggs & Stratton 5 hp 4 cycle recently. Have not taken it on the water yet but plan to hopefully on Sunday.
when I go and fuel up the tanks should I buy premium or are these engines not made for higher octane gas? Will it benefit the engine or no? It's basically a lawnmower engine made into an outboard motor. I think Briggs & Stratton quit producing boat motors, they are mainly a lawnmower company.
Just wondering if the high octane will give my engine a boost or if it's not worth the money or will more likely hurt the motor.... The gas will also be ethanol free, I know of a couple stations that sell it nearby.
