I just bought an old 9.5hp Johnson Outboard for my Tin project and it ran fine when I purchased it. I took it to Ft Yargo two weeks ago (before all this rain here in Atlanta) and I had filled the 6 gallon tank with 87 grade gasoline and added 2-stroke oil 50:1(16oz of oil was added) as the instructions read on the bottle for 6 Gallons. I got out on the lake and it cranked up first pull but after it idled for about 2 minutes it cut off and now will not start up again. I know NOTHING about motors at all... and i'm guessing since it ran fine before I mixed the gas, that I did something wrong in mixing.
Any ideas? the guy I bought it from said he'd never cleaned the carb (has only 1) and that I should clean it out, but it ran fine and usually cranked on 1st and 2nd pull.
