[QUOTE="ski, post: 143021, member: 3238"] So I just got a great deal on my first boat- a 64 14ft starcraft with 1960 18 hp johnson seahorse, trailer and trolling motor for $500. I drained the gas and was unsure of the fuel oil ratio. Several websites and other owners say 24:1. Some guys say that the oil today is much better than the oil in 1960's and that I should run it at 40:1 or 50:1. And then I read that somewhere in the 1960's, the recommended fuel oil mix went to 50:1. Why did the fuel oil mix change for motors in the 60's? Was there some sort of technology change? All I'm looking for is to get the right mix so this motor runs well and I don't break something. ski [/QUOTE]
