Nope. Gasoline does not provide lubrication like oil does. You 6 hp Johnson is now a boat anchor.

Mix the oil richer than you normally would, but I'm nearly certain your motor is done.

Good excuse to go boat shopping though lol.

Nice lesson learned here. GAS IS NOT OIL.

Thank you for the responses.

nope its toast
