    Hi Matt Hamilton, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box? Please share the make and model of the motor. (P.S. If you have a dipstick for motor oil, use regular gas.)

Matt, If engine is two stroke and not oil injected then yes you must mix 2 stroke oil and fuel. 4 stroke engine have a crank case which is filled to proper level with 4 stroke engine oil. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

What spark plug to use in super xl auto mine doesn't seem to have enough power .

About .030". Remove the muffler if you can and look to see if the piston is all scored up. You may be using garbage gas or mix oil as well.

I put reg gas in it & it ran rthen quit now the cord will not pull

Could have scored the rings, broken ring, or just cooked the piston to the sleeve, maybe melted the connecting rod to crank, damaged needle bearings. Most likely needs to be taken apart.

Reg gas in 2 cycle chain saw

Hi wiley
Your chainsaw is probably good for the junk heap if it is ceased or locked up.
If you can still pull it thru, drain out all the non-oil gas and refill with gas and oil mixed to the normal mixing for your chainsaw.
Give it a crank and hopefully all will be good to go for a while

My kx 250 has no compression i put reg gas in and rode i think ran out of gas then tyred to jump it and it siezed up and now i try to kick it over and it gos half way and no compr

If it's a KX it's a 2-stroke and requires oil to be mixed with the gas. If you didn't have a gas oil mix, it is probably seized and maybe even damaged the crank. These bikes have excellent owners manuals that have all the info required to rebuild the motor, and 2 strokes are fairly simple. Good luck!

What type of petrol is needed for a yamaha outboard motor horsepower 8?

reg unleaded gas.

You haven't specified as to its year of manufacture, so if its older, as in a 2 stroke, it'll be a mix of gas and outboard oil.

If its a newer model, a 4 stroke, it'll be injected(Gas and oil seperate)

If you are totally unsure, Consult your owners manual and if you have none, then any Yamaha dealer can use the serial # off the motor to establish any specs on it for you.

Happy boating.

Gas mixes with the cooliant

If coolant leaks into the engine and mixes with fuel, that means that you need to replace the head gasket.
