ok was out today for a little run around the lake...I started motor which started too easy IMO barely turned over and was going! I run about 2-2.5 gallon of mixed gas threw it and never noticed oil drop but then again it wouldn't need much for that little of gas ...am I good to go with straight gas as the alarm never sounded? when i turn keep the horn beeps and each light goes out one by one (checking system?) just wondering if its good to straight gas

try marking the oil tank with a pen when its level and check it when you get back.

2.5 gallons of gas usage at a 50:1 ratio would have been 2 ounces maybe so probably a 1/4" drop in a 1.8 gallon oil tank. Hard to notice.
I will try one more tank of mixed and see what happens ...cant afford anything huge so want to make sure I know I measured in water and sitting on the trailer it looks like it dropped 1/8 of inch but thats 2 different levels of the boat altho it was measured in middle of tank so it should be working but I will do it again to know forsure

Just run it mixed for awhile worse you could do is possibly foul a set of plugs.
