Four What???

[ksanksan]

Just bought a four cylinder legacy Johnson outboard. I am confused, does that make it four stroke and run on straight gas with no mix of oil.<br /><br />In summary is four cylinder equal four cycle equal four stroke?<br /><br />Thanks, Kirk

Re: Four What???

4 cylinder = 4 pistons = 4 sparkplugs

Im sure you guys are laughing, but so then it's not four stroke? and I mix four cycle or 2 cycle or no oil in gas?<br /><br />Dumb but learning,<br /><br />Kirk

2-stroke. Mix one quart of TCW-3 rated oil with six gallons fuel (24:1).
