I know I've been a pain, one even called it SPAM. It's far from that, but rather a person who bought a boat and was fearing it was a lemon.
Anyways, had the compression test done on the 50 hp Johnson/ Evinrude. Thank goodness, it checked out okay. Part of my posts that I forgot to mention is that he had the same gas sit for 2 years. It was stabilized, but still likely went bad. The previous owner just put 1/2 old fuel with half new fuel and gave us the boat. It caused gummed up carbs, likely.
It probably now has 15-20% of the old fuel and 80% new fuel. Should we just start with a new tank, or will we be safe to run out the old gas without gumming up NEW rebuilt carbs.
