Hello all, I have a 1992 yamaha 6hp kicker on my lund. The owners manual says to run it 100-1 for gas/oil mixture. I would like to tap into my main motor gas line for the kicker but it runs 50-1 mixture. I have talked with some mechanics who said the 50-1 mixture would not hurt my kicker motor at all. What do you guy's/gal's think. Thanks in advance for the help. John

I would run 50:1 in that outboard even if I wasn't sharing a tank.

I agree,
50:1 will just give better protection on the shiny internal parts as the motor just sits and waits for you to start it from time to time.

Thanks guy's. I think I will draw from my main tank and do away with the portable tank I use for my kicker. Thanks again. John
