I have a Yamaha 2 stroke. Very quiet, my 15 hp weighs 79 lb compared to 120 for a 4 stroke 15 Merc. I have never run the carb dry during the season, only when I put it away for the winter. It always starts on the first or second pull.
The only gas it has ever seen is the ethanol laced stuff. Haven't had anything other than that in Ct for many years. I learned how to deal with the stuff.
