I just bought a mid 70s John boat with a 20hp mercury 200 outboard.
I got her running for a little bit but will not stay running.
Here's my stupid question.
This being a 2 stroke ( I'm assuming) do I need to put in a oil additive ?
I just put regular fuel in the tank.
Could that be the reason it will not stay running. ?
If so what kind of additive should I use and did I jack something up by starting it up like that.
Thanks for any kind of help.
