I got the changing the mix for added boost bit from motorcycles. Some
(amateur) racers I know cut down on the oil during time trials and
races to boost performance. I think it's only a couple of percent,
though. Could be yet another myth?


There must be something to it ... although probably dangerous for the
health of the engine.

Ever notice how a chain saw engine starts to have more throttle response
and revs higher just as it is running out of gas/oil?

Messing with the output of an outboard motor is an exercise best left to
someone with expertise, especially with MODERN outboards with strange
metallurgy.



For sure, and I was not suggesting that he do so. I was simply indicating
that there may be something to the racing trick and it may not be just a
myth.
