Re: Leaded gas??????
Gas issues were pretty screwed up in 1974, jtrom.
94 octane leaded gas is no longer available. Lead was and is bad for outboards and high octane never was really needed. It is just that what else was available was pretty bad.
What many of us did was use the 80 octane unleaded "white" gas sold by Amoco for lanterns, stoves, outboards, etc. The white gas worked fine but wasn't available everywhere. Coleman still sells it (BIG markup) in cans for lanterns and stoves.
What is currently recommended is 87 octane unleaded.
