Location: Angola, IN | The bad news is, no telling how long the motor was out of oil.
When you winterize it, might as well get a compression gauge and check each cylinder to see if anything major is going on there.
Compression gauges are cheap and easy to find/borrow. I check mine every spring when I put new plugs in it just to see how things are "aging". My 115HP Johnson is a 1969. LOL!!
This is why I never like oil injector units. Three reasons: 1.) Not easy to tell when the oil reservior is empty. 2.) No telling when the oil pump goes out. 3.) How accurate is the oil injection to give you a 50:1 ratio at all times anyways?
Mixed gas is always the safest. All my friends who have high end 2-stroke bikes, remove the oil pump right away and go with mixed gas. |
