Old Sears Outboard Engine Question - Leaded Gas

[gearyg]

I just dug up and old Sears outboard engine from my dads house. The label on the gas tank reads "Leaded Gasoline Only" I wanted to get it started again, but I can't find Leaded Gas anywhere, or any additives (I live in Southern California) Does anyone know if I use "Unleaded Gas" will it mess up the motor? Any other option...thanks.

Re: Old Sears Outboard Engine Question - Leaded Gas

There is a thread about leaded gas in the JohnnyRude section.

There is no difference if you use leaded or unleaded in a 2-stroke outboard. Old 4 strokes motors you might need to add some type of additive.
