Hi,<br /><br />Just bought a 11 hp old Evinrude, model HE11KCLW.<br />The guy I bought from was running it for long on 2% oil gasoline mix, that's what he was initially told to do. Today I made a search and found out that it's a Kerosene type from late 80's. <br />Question is - is it OK to keep the gasoline mix or must use kerosene? If must kerosene, any mix needed ? Any damage to engine due to the long gasoline mix use ?<br />Thanks in advance.

Cool! I've never seen one of those. In fact, I didn't even know they existed.

A lot of those kerosene outboards were sold in third world countries where gas was hard to come by.
