Trolling with gas
Posted by: oldiron79 on Mar-21-13 8:46 AM (EST)

4 stroke motors idle well enough that I can say there is nothing wrong with trolling at idle with them.

I wouldn't reccomend trolling at idle with a 2 stroke, they dont idle as well and the gas oil mix likes to foul spark plugs if they stall on you, then you are looking at paddling back unless you have your tools on you.
