[QUOTE="G Lap, post: 230838, member: 6268"] I have a 1987 two-stroke Suzuki 20HP outboard that calls for a 100:1 ratio of oil to fuel. The motor I had before that was a 1967 Johnson 33hp which called for a lot more oil in the mix. When I got the jon boat with the Suzuki, it sure didn't seem like much oil added at each fuel up . . . but I figured if that's what Suzuki called for, then that would be best. I fished with the Suzuki for about 8 years, sometimes a few times a week and sometimes with large spans between each use as much as 10 months (too busy, away at work). I always mixed it 100:1 and never had any types of problems. I agree that is doesnt seem like enough lubrication for the cylinders, but they must have designed it that way for a reason. I just got a 1994 25hp Evinrude, so I will probably sell the Suzuki . . . but it sure was a dependable motor. [/QUOTE]
