[QUOTE="driz, post: 387741, member: 13373"] First off do the shake rattle roll and dump the old gas. If it's an older boat you should be using "real" gas in it. If you use ethanol mix you can do it but always make sure your carbs AND complete gas line is drained when you are done using it for the day. Ethanol sitting in the lines breaks them down internally and the goo goes right through the filter to stuff your carbs terribly. New lines are supposed to be alcohol compatible so if yours are stiff n cracky ditch them. Stabil sells a product they say makes ethanol gas ok but I find it's cheaper to just use ethanol free super.
