i believe that i may have been mixing totally backwards. see if this is right. i usually add half an once of oil per gallon. i read the conversion table and it says something like 13 onces of oil for my 6 gallon tank. how wrong am i? and what are the problems that i am likely to encounter?

A 2002 Yamaha 50 hp should be an oil injected engine. If so, why are you premixing?

thats what the manual says to do. theres no seperate place to add oil, no pump, filter, filler nothing like that.

Check inside to engine cover. I think you'll find a tank to add oil.<br /><br />The manual probably tells you to add oil to the gas for the 10 hour break in period.

The 2002 Yamaha 50 is a Precision Blend oiled engine (oil injected). <br /><br />Do not use the engine until you get and read an Owner's Manual.
