I have a 1960 10hp evinrude and i like to make sure the oil to fuel mixture is 50:1..Is this correct..thanks...
 
" Rick,

I am pretty certain


" Rick,

I am pretty certain Johnson still used 16:1 or 1/2 pint of 30 wt NON DILUTED oil to the gallon in 1960. Using 50:1 risks throwing a con rod. DO not use TCWII oil infact if you can use 30 wt two cycle oil that is the best , not even TCWIII. Synthetic oils like AMSOIL work well too, and with those you might try a greater dsilution like 30:1
