Re: Old 2 stroke vs new outboards (2&4) stroke

[David Stanton]

I also run the gas out of motors I don’t plan on using for awhile. A friend of mine has 4-stroke 25 HP Suzuki and he no longer runs the gas out except at end of season because it uses so little gas at idle, he says it takes almost 20 minutes to run it out, and that’s too long to wait at the landings he uses. My 2004 25 Yamaha 4-stroke pontoon motor runs out in just a few minutes if I step the idle up a bit.
