smokeless two stroke outboard

[eurolarva]

A friend gave me a 1975 4.5 hp merc that he no longer wanted to use. I got it running but it smokes a lot. Is there a synthetic oil I can use that I can purchase locally to help reduce this. I like the amsoil stuff but I need it for a trip to Mille Lac this saturday and doubt it would be here. I have the saber but it is only for air cooled motors. I tried to search but that did not help

I am by no means a motorhead but..."Only for air cooled motors"? That's a new one. I would use Sabre in anything 2 stroke. That stuff is amazing.

Saber professional (which I have) is for air cooled equipment like augers, chain saws, weed wackers, Saber outboard is for use in two stroke outboard motors. Air cooled motors run a lot hotter then water cooled motors so you are suppose to use the correct oil for the correct motor. I went to the double f today and all they had was resolute which works well in my main motor. I have heard of a pennsoil synthetic but cant find it locally. This little 4.5 hp I got smokes a lot. Probably needs some seafoam and a carb adjustment which I will get to but now I am looking for a synthetic oil that is TWC3

Go to shops that work on small engines like dirt bikes and jet skis. The one in my neighborhood carries Amsoil.

Found an Amsoil rep here in Brooklyn Park. He went and got me a quart and had it for me the next day. Boat is ready. Mille Lac here I come.

4.5hp motor? Mille Lacs? You're a braver man than I am, Gungda Din.

It is a kicker for trolling. I have a 45 as the main motor. The amsoil works like a charm. Trolled for 2 hours and had no problems with smoke or fouling
