So, before you start using pre-mix on your Renesis, please think twice!! It costed me close to $500 to replace the pump assembly.
you could have cleaned the fuel pump sock or replaced the pump yourself for ~$125
it does help however to have the SST for removing the pump, but not needed

I would rather spend $125 or even the $500 you spent if it meant not having to buy a new motor due to lack of lubrication
