I just bought my first boat and it has a very cool 1959 Evinrude 5.5hp motor. I know nothing about this motor and have never owned a 2 stroke anything before so I have a few questions...
First, what is the mix ratio for the fuel and what type of oil is recommended?
Second, I understand a 59 is an anniversary edition but the maedalion is missing from my cover. Can these be purchased today? I want to paint and restore the motor properly.
Last, are there any shops in Northern Ohio that cater to the vintage outboard crowd?
Thanks for any info you can provide.
