Default Old Motor versus New Motor (outboard)

I can't comment on whether you repair your Suzuki motor or not but
before you use a fuel that contains alcohol (which I understand is
used in U.S. fuel) read the manual. I have a Mercury 3 H.P. outboard
for which the manual specifically STATES " DO NOT USE FUEL CONTAINING
ALCHOL IN THIS ENGINE".



I doubt there is much auto gas in the US that dose NOT have alcohol in
it by now. Too much political pressure from teh corn lobby.

OTOH, I love my Briggs and Stratton outboard!
It don't care much either way.
