Changing to VRO Motor

[ken52]

My old 140 died and wasn't worth repairing. I now have a Yamaha S150 with vro and holding tank.

Here's my question: I have about 50-55 gals of premix fuel in boat. Is there something I should do or put in the fuel tank or is it OK to run it and just keep adding straight fuel?

It should be OK. It may smoke a bit more than usual but the Yamaha hardly smokes anyway.

Keep topping the tank up with straight gas on a regular basis to dilute the mix. As said it may smoke a little more but it should not be an issue.

Thanks guys, I was hoping it wouldn't be to big of an issue. I fugured I'd carry an extra set of plugs for a while just in case I'd foul out the plugs I could change them out. Well hope I have better luck with this motor. That old looper was good but whoever rebuilt her before I got her used a bunch of used parts which caused premature failure. Thanks!

Was going to suggest the same thing...

dilution is the solution.

Thanks again, will just keep topping off the tank when I go out.
