That is Fu(ked up......I just put in 180 gallons last Sunday That explains my Ticfaw Theory and Why my engines would not idle worth a chit What recourse does Marine Max plan on doing????

just talked to a mechanic that works for us he said heet will make it worse. He said the best thing is to pump it out or add some marvel mystery oil to keep from washing the cylinder walls.
