[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 474801, member: 3278"] [size=5]No need for high octane fuel. 87 is okay and 89 is just right. On the water pump. If there are grooves in the pump housing on the top or on the plate at the bottom then start with a complete kit. You can get an aerosol can of fogging oil or a squirt bottle and fill with regular 50:1 outboard oil and squirt some in the cylinders. Can be more than a few drops if you like....won't hurt a thing. When lubricating a starter bendix the lube actually goes on the splines below the visible part of the shaft. Twist the bendix upward and look below, you will see what I am talking about. Good idea though! Would be a good idea to run the engine on a bit richer mixture than 50:1 for the first tank or at least the first couple gallons. When running in a "barrel" make sure the static waterline on the engine comes up to the lower mounts or very close. This will insure the pump is submerged. They are not self priming pumps. That engine you have is a post 1992 model and is a good engine. [/size] [/QUOTE]
