"Thanks Christian, I guessed it was 50:1, now I'm sure. I am putting it on a 22' aluminum FishRite jetboat with a 2 1/2' swim platform protruding from the back. The boat is an inboard and climbing out to start it in the winter won't be enjoyable, I'm in Montana. I really want to start it from the console. On another topic, My Grandfather, who was the inspiration for my fishing passion, left me a 7.5hp Firestone engine with a matching fuel can with the old Firestone logo. He passed away in 1994 and the motor hasn't been started since 1989. I am teaching a group of Boy Scouts their motor boating merit badge and would like to use this motor on a 12' aluminum boat. The sn is 13351231, the code# is 133-3-1335 and the stock# is 10-A-103. Can you tell me if it also is a 50:1 and give me any recommendations for starting it for the first time in almost 2 decades. Thanks in advance"
