Gas questins help please..............

[winamy]

I just bought a 1970 yar-craft with a 65 horse power Johnson outboard engine. It has two of the old 6 gallon tanks. As you all know regular gas is no longer available. If I fill the tanks with 6 gallens of leaded gas what should I put in. <br /><br />1 Pint of Johnson 2 cycle aditive in each can which would be a 50:1 ratio? What would a lead additive do> Should I also put in a lead additive or should I just run the unleaded gas with the Johnson additive only ?

winamy,<br /><br />Outboards do not require lead-never did. Lead was added to help in valve seat lubrication in four cycle engines.<br /><br />Use a good quality TCW-3 rated oil and mix one pint to six gallons of 87 octane, 50:1.<br /><br />Outboards also do not require higher than 87.
