I don’t have any direct experience with Gamefishers or Eskas, other than servicing a few, working as a boat mechanic for too many years. I do, however, run air cooled Lawnboy mowers all the time, and have done THAT, for too many years, also. I have run high quality (Quicksilver premium plus) TCW-3 oil in my Lawnboys for as long as that rating has existed and good quality outboard oil, before that. I have had zero mechanical or even carbonization problems in my Lawnboys. I run 24:1 in engines with full roller bearings and 16:1 in older models that might have a plain bearing mixed in. My experience with the customers that had Eska products is that TCW-3 is just fine…..Something else on them will fail long before you have oil problems. Many times, it’s the gear case. Make sure THAT stays well lubricated!
Long live American manufacturing!
