Seconded - do not wait to fill it with oil+gas and try it out. I also recently got a 221Q and had trouble starting it up initially - you can read about it here: http://www.abbysguide.com/ope/discussions/48798-0-1.html I would not have been happy if I'd had that experience with a foot of snow waiting for me on the driveway. Personally, I used the Amsoil Saber Outboard synthetic oil which was recommended as a good, low-smoke TCW3 oil. Now that I have the 221Q starting up properly, it seems to run just fine with that oil at a roughly 1:66 oil-gas ratio. +1 on the Amsoil. I use it in everything.
