I was given an old Lund with and old Johnson outboard, if I recall I believe it is a late 1960's 18 HP. It was my wifes Grandfathers fishing boat. The gas in it is 12 years old. The fuel lines are dry rotting and so are the tires. My brother inlaw took it out a said it ran fine, I would rather that he did not run the 12 year old gas through it! But apparently it started after many many pulls but after the initial start it would start on the first pull the rest of the weekend.
I plan on getting new tires, fuel line and fuel tank. I picked up a quart of Johnson brand 2 stroke oil about 5 years ago when I was gonna take it out but never did.
What type 2 stroke oil should this take? What mix ratio? Ofcourse non of this is written on the motor anywhere.
Do you think the unopened quart thats been in my garage for 5 1/2 is still good?
