Re: gas mixture

Straight gas in a non-oil injected outboard will ruin it in a matter of minutes. The motor wouldn't run bad until things started shredding. Once that process starts, it's overhaul time.

Re: gas mixture

this is the only lubrication these motors get. with out the correct mixture you can toast your engine rather quickly.
