[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 404796, member: 13140"] XD 100 needs injection so don't run it in anything else or it does not mix well. Dump some in a clear jug and watch it sit on the bottom. You can shake it and it still does not mix well. Same with castor bean oil the old dirt bikes ran. You have to shake the can like spray paint to get it to mix. I went from a Johnson 6 hp to a Honda 7.5 when I was a kid. I lived on a river and drove it daily. 10' boat so it swamped or sank from rain at least two or three times a year. The Johnson was simple to dry out but the Honda took all day. I wonder how hard it is to dry out these new 2 and four stroke engines? We don't plan on it but small boats do dunk once in a while.
