I keep finding fresh water, mid-80's OMC engines for my dinghy
In Response To: so you have a source for Seagull engines? ()
I have an 85, 15hp Evinrude on the dinghy currently. It replaced an 86, 9.9 that I bought well used and ran for a dozen years. I did grab the old Seagull off the rack on the way out the door this year. The gas in the tank is nearly 2 years old. It started up after half a dozen pulls. Probably would have taken fewer pulls if I had remembered the correct starting procedure.

- I saw Ben Ellison (Panbo.com) towing an outboard powered dinghy, with his Torqueedo this weekend.
- OK dumb question... modern gas is not about to change for the better...
- The older 2 cycles seem to run OK

- Hopefully not. And with luck, topside Honda generators are effected as well.
