I have a 40 HP Evinrude VRO that I was told is from 1990 or 1991. Particulars are linked below to another thread here.
I would like to get this motor gassed up but have three questions before I start.
There is a separate tank for oil that came with the motor but it is busted. The guy who fixed the motor says I can stick a bolt in its tube to plug it and just add the oil to the gas.
Is he right?
If so, what type of oil do I use and at what ratio to the gas?
I have two 6 gallon gas tanks for the boat. How much oil do I put in these if full of gas?
Thanks again for your help. I can wait to get this in the water.
Here is the thread on my particular outboard http://forums.iboats.com/forum/engin...e-40-hp-engine
