E Electric<br />L Long Shaft (20")<br />PT Power Trim<br />O Oil Injection<br /><br />Does your motor have oil injection, rather than having to pre-mix with the gas? Mixture should be 50:1, of Mercury (Quicksilver) TC-W3 or equivalent. Oil brand is a personal choice, but it must meet TC-W3 specifications.<br /><br />Oil type for PT&T is recommended to use Mercury power trim fluid, but ATF is suitable as well. Whatever you use it is best not to mix various fluids. Flush and fill system when changing from one to another.<br /><br />When cleaning carbs off the motor, any carb cleaner will work. Never run your motor using quick start or carb cleaner. The cylinders/bearings/seals require the lubrication from the fuel mixture at all times.<br /><br />Check with yout dealer for proper spark plug specs. May be a couple of options depending on how you want to use your motor (trolling, fishing, skiing, etc.) to avoid fouling.
