Hello,
My dad passed away in January and my mom wants me to sell their boat for her. It's a 1988 Alumicraft Trophy 170 with a 60 Hp Oil injected Mercury. My dad bypassed the oil injection system and used an external gas tank and mixed the oil himself into the tank. I remember years ago he told me the alarm kept going off on the injector and was having trouble with it. So now I need to sell the boat and I think I should hook the injector and original fuel tank back up. What type of oil goes into the injector? just reg 2 cycle? Also on the external fuel tank there is a primer bulb. When I hook the original gas tank back up do I keep the primer bulb attached? What should I be looking for when trying to make this system work again? If I fail and go back to my dad's external tank, what is the oil to fuel ratio that I would use?
Thank you!
