"I recently purchased this motor the previous owner has disconnected the oil system, from what I can tell its just the wiring unhooked and oil line on the bottom of the resoirvoir. He was pre mixing the gas & oil for some time, in such a situation what would the proper mix ratio be?
the spark plugs have a nice light brown tone so it seems he wasnt running it too rich.
on sucha old motor I guess its not hurting it?
it does run very well I might add acelerates good smooth idle
he was a old waterman and I guess from what he says he didnt trust oil system.
the motor has some hrs. on it and I dont really plan on keeping but maybe a season or so I wanted the hull the motor came with the deal.
thanks for any help"
