Amsoil? Help Please

[Buck_Hunter04]

So I have a 2 stroke outboard and have been using Quicksilver for years mixed with Premium gas. Ratio 50:1. 25 Hp Mariner Problem is it seems like half way thru the year my spark plugs begin to get oily and begin to run rough. I know I'm mixing it right. The question I have is will it make a difference to move to Amsoil to reduce some of this problem and maybe some smoke? Any information will be greatfully appreciated. Also, does it seem to work better in Strikemaster augers as well? Thanks

[Northlander]

Yes and yes it will help both.

Buck- I use Amsoil Saber at 90-1 in both my Yamaha 25 hp two stroke and my Strikemaster Lazer Mag Express with the Tecumseh engine. Couldn't be happier. Very little smoke and no fouled plugs.

My neighbor has a mid 80s mercury 20 or 25 hp. he could not get it to troll it would load up smoke and it was having a hard time planning out. I could tell he was mixing his oil to heave. I suggested using Amsoil Saber marine. after the first tank it was like a different motor. Now I don't have listen to him complain about mercury motors any more.

Thanks guys, the info is great! Guess I'm just not sure which one to use and at what ratio. I see they make a couple different ones for 2 strokes. Little scared that I will burn something up. Mercury/Mariner mid 80's. Basically the same outboard I've been told. thanks again guys

Why not just use regular synthetic 2 stroke oil at a lower ratio?

For your auger use Saber Professional, product code ATP (for all air-cooled 2-cycle pre-mix engines). You can mix as lean as 100-1, but many prefer to mix richer at 80-1 or 50-1.

For your 2-cycle outboard, AMSOIL now has 3 choices:

1. as pre-mix only Saber Outboard, product code ATO as lean as 100-1 but some use it richer.

2. HP Marine product code HPM, AMSOIL's premium synthetic marine oil, can be used as injector oil or as 50-1 premix.

3. Syn 2-stroke Injector Oil, product code AIO, can be used as injector oil or as 50-1 premix (a slightly lower quality product than HPM at a lower price).

New richmond UH? i am out by willmar weekends and do outboard motor work.The fouled plugs?Changing oils wont solve your problem.Are you sure your using the right plugs? 25HP do you troll it down often? that causes fouling of plugs sooner than most think.There are a few steps you can take to find the problem.Just changing lubricants solves little.There has to be a reason their fouling out.Once thats discovered then use any oils mixed as you choose.Till then find the problem.PM me I might have suggestions but the plugs,oil mix,carb jets all play a part in fouling out.It hasen't anything with which oils you choose to use.

Jentz, I do a lot of leadcore trolling. however, I do quite a few long wideopen runs to get to my spots.
