[QUOTE="Piomarine, post: 406385, member: 16014"] I feel truly honored to get a response from Pappy! I mixed 16oz into 4 gal of fuel...I think I calculated that right. Just checked it again and it's a little lean...by about 5oz. 16oz is the mixture for 3 gal. I will check spark and add more oil tomorrow. Would those idle issues include light sputtering and skipping? If the skirts are worn how do I go about checking/replacing them? The only ethanol that's been run through it is the mandatory 10% imposed by the fine folks at the EPA [size=2](that was sarcasm btw)[/size] I understood when I bought this motor that it would be a steep learning curve. I have never been a gear head but I have a good mechanical mind and with help I can learn quickly. I apologize in advance for seemingly stupid questions...such as where do I spray the gas into the carb? [/QUOTE]
