Outboard 2 stroke oil.
I reckon having read some of this, I will always stick to TC-W3 graded oil. To be sure, one can check at www.nmma.org to see what oils have this standard. Can't upload a word document. Just all about...

Think I can help
:thumbs: Nasher, if you can give me the model number of your motor, I should be able to answer all your questions as long as when you say "old" 140 it's not later than a 1991 model. I have the...

Apologies........
I see it's a Johnson. Maybe I can help. I have an adjustable prop for Evinrude/Johnson. Not the best prop in the world, but one can play with the pitch and have a fair idea of where it needs to be.
