2 Stroke ?

[Retrowagon]

Anyone know the best place/cheapest place to buy there 2 stroke oil around Poole ?

Can you use scooter 2stroke ? What's thedifference ?

I buy quicksilver 2stroke on eBay. Pacer marine is the company.

It does matter. Most modern 2 stroke outboards dynamically mix the gas and oil and use a low oil to gas ratio because they run cool. Two stroke motors like a chain saw are designed for a much higher oil gas ratio. It's not so much that you use a "marine" oil as it is you use a 2-stroke oil designed to work properly with the low oil:gas ratio your outboard uses. The cheap 2-stroke oil designed for a chain saw would cause damage to your outboard, just make sure you use outboard oil which has a tcw3 rating on it.

 

If you wanna buy locally then force 4 down Bournemouth road will have some 2 stroke tcw3 quicksilver oil.

Might be worth seeing if the chandlers at Parkstone Yacht Club (Quay West Marine) sell it, I've found they're usually cheaper than anyone else around for most things.

I'll second that , they spliced my new anchor rope to chain.................pity it won't work as the gypsy will not grip it !!!!!

 

Other chandler told me it could not be done, but they did it.......and at exceptional value.
