Ok lets talk about the new gas. Any one having problems with their outboards running on this stuff. Mine had some stuttering and some smoking on startup. One guy said I should put in a good fuel filter between the tank and motor. I thought all the motors had filters.
Any thoughts on an additive or the filter route. Also I just bought this boat, is there any way to tell if the tank has too much oil ratio to gas.
Previous owner told me he added a little extra oil on layup for the winter. I like my 1 pint to 6 gals. Should I add more straight gas or run it down and start over. Again is there an additive to help with this?
