More likely some scum that was in or formed in the spare tank may have

occasionally poured way too much oil into the mix (by a factor of two or
three on occasion), and aside from a bit more smoke, no harm seemed to
be done.

Yes, thats just what we need...more pollution from ignorant red necks,
who cant seem to grasp the simple operation of a measuring cup.

It also fouls plugs, but we didnt really expect you to know that,
since you never even ran any type of boat motor before.

Does running
out of petrol lead to problems with an outboard ?

Not usually with a two cycle...many owners of more portable two cycles
run their engines dry when removing them from their boats for transport,
and they do this frequently

Again, our village idiot confirms he knows nothing. Running 2-strokes
dry is a bad thing...it starves the bottom end of needed lubrication,
and it can dry out diaphrams as well.

I think it *too* funny when this clown goes out on a limb with his own
words (as opposed to his normal web site cut-n-paste) to try to prove
he knows something abouts boats, but only ends up confirming he knows
nothing, and is a liar.

What a joy it is to read this clown...
