I just purchased a 2004 Mercury engine. What is the oil/gas mix? I used the boat about 5 or 6 times and recently the engine sputtered then quit. I couldn't restart it. When I got it home and checked it the cylinders were locked up. I sprayed it with a lubricant and now it seems fine and starts right up. Does anyone have any idea what could have caused the problem. I thought that maybe the gas/oil mixture could have been wrong. Thanks for any help!

Re: 2004 - 25 HP Mercury

A merc dealer will gladly help you there. I'm not up on these newer engines but most 2 strokes run 50:1...

If you plan on keeping this putter, you should invest in a service manual. 2004 is a new engine and deserves respect from it's owner...

The price will be covered in your first service/repair...
