[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4057253, member: 15054"] The only oil that a 2 stroke gets to oil the rings and crank and piston is mixed in the fuel. If you run that 2 stroke dry you basically ran it out of oil and better hope there is enough residual oil to keep it from rusting during storage. In the mercury marine manual it states DO NOT run the engine out of fuel. You can get scored cylinder walls etc from doing that. I never run my engines out of fuel but I use my stuff year round. My 1975 Mercury 50 HP is still going strong and it does not get ran out of fuel. Works for some but I am not going there. [/QUOTE]
