Re: Accumix oil /fuel system

[David Stanton]

Dad’s 1987 35 Evinrude which he bought new in the box in 1989 had the 100 to 1 mixing 6 gallon tank. It worked fine the first summer, but early the next season it left me stranded on the lake when the low oil thing shut off the gas and the oil compartment in that tank that was nearly full of oil. I don’t know if that was a 1987, 88 or 89 tank,but after hearing this was a common failure, I removed the mixing stuff from the tank and drilled a bunch of 1/4 inch holes in the oil canister so it filled with the gas/oil we mixed manually.
