Has the gas gone bad?

If not, add some fresh and enjoy.

Been a long time since I operated an I/O, but you should be able to run it in the driveway with muffs and a hose.

Was the fuel non ethanol? If not, I would definitely drain it and dispose of it. If it was, drain and keep to run in lawn mower.

Should be able to siphon out through fuel line going to engine.

Sea foam won t harm anything, but probably won t cure anything.

My boat had gas in it since 2017. When I ran it last year, it ran flawless. This was ethanol fuel with Startron and stabil in it. I***8217;m running a 98 200 Johnson carbed engine.
