Always have to remember to get the bad gas out of the line before you try to start the motor! Used to have that problem EVERY spring until I started running my outboard out of gas at the end of the season.

Barry on older engines with premix that's ok but newer 2 strokes starve for oil when they starve for gas. Just my 02 centsQuote:

bad time
Sounds rough.
I mix my oil n gas myself. Just don't trust the it to do it. Boats in the shop after I got it running and I hit some bridge pilings that were left under the highway 90 bridge. Spun the prop. They're not busy and said they could have it ready tomorrow. Taking the carbs out, cleaning good, new gaskets n such, plus the prop rehubbed. Sure it'll be 500-600 bucks
WOW!!! There should have been some kind of warning buoy or something by those pilings.
Nope. Nothing there. They used all the debris from the bridges to make reefs. I researched ALOT and no mention of this location
