I've got a 1985 Johnson 2HP J2RC0C - which I think is just a 2RC0C - the "J" threw me for a little while searching for the year.
Could I trouble someone to confirm that the ratio is 50:1 for gas/oil?
If if is 50:1 what's the easiest way to mix up 2 gallons of gas. I think I saw that it's one pint to six gallons, so that would make it about 5 ounces of oil, right?
Also, I'm fairly new to boat motors, so would purchasing the owners guide be very helpful? I've read tips on tuning the fuel mixture so I could probably figure it out, but I don't know what else might be in the guide that could make my life easier.
Many thanks for any guidance you can provide! |

Yes, that 1985 2hp model uses the 50/1 mixture.
Actually, using a 2 gallon tank, the quanity of oil needed would be 5-1/3 ounces. |

Thank you!
I'm glad to know that. I read a little more last night and realized that rounding to 5 ounces is worse than rounding up to 6 ounces. I'll aim for 5 1/3 but I'm guessing a little extra bit won't hurt. |
