Tip of the month

Thanks for posting - what about if you use " the blue stuff ".......it's a stabilizer, forgot the name, maybe Stabil . My etec dealer recommends, and I use it 1oz per 10 gallons during the season, a bit more when storing.

The " empty vs full " discussion is interesting - of course really EMPTY would likely be best.

That's Star tron you're thinking of (blue stuff) great stuff, we use it in all our equipment an have almost eliminated all our primer bulb problems and carb issues.

I just winterized my 1989 yamaha 150 2 stroker, I had about 12 gallons of 93 SUNUCO left in the tank , I added 5 gallons of 105 octain racing fuel ( no ethanol) 2 pints of Sierra Combustion Cleaner and 4 oz. of stabil. this mixture has always worked for me now for 8 yrs. I ran this mixture for 5 minutes off my garden hose to get in into my water seperator and carbs. then ran the foging oil thru the plug holes to lube the pistons and rings , drained the carbs ran it again to get the carb foging oil into them . DONE
execpt for the lower unit , I always use racing fuel it is expencive but worth it
