would using this gasoline ruin my outboard?

[noob_boater]

I have 2 gallons of gasoline mixed with 10 ounces of non-TCW3 oil (chain saw oil like type) for my 4.5HP eska outboard. I want to pour all that 2 gallon into my 20R70E johnson outboard and then add like 4 gallons of gas to get it close to a 50:1 mix.

Would using a non-TCW3 mixed ruin my johnson motor? thanks!

Not in my opinion. I have used similar air cooled engine oil in my 35hp johnson lots of times with no problems and I've had that motor 10 years. but I do run her rich when I'm using that oil.

I use 50 to 1 ratio...I mix 1 gallon to 3 oz's of oil............

if you add 4 gallons of fuel to that 2 gallons that is pre mixed .......I don't think you will be anywhere near 50 to 1...just saying ..be carefull
your not to lean......

Six gallons of gas with 10 ounces of oil will be somewhere around 80:1.

You have two gallons of fuel that would burn nicely in your lawn mower. Use it there -- not in a very expensive outboard. Use the right oil. Using air cooled engine oil in your outboard is a rather risky way to use up a few bucks worth of fuel. Not having the correct fuel/oil ratio is also dangerous and potentially expensive.
