[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 284384, member: 7791"] Yeah OMC recommended 100:1 from 1985-88 only to come out with a bulletin in Sept. of 1988 basically recanting the 100:1 recommendation and going back to 50:1. Your motor will run on 100:1 at idle or slow speeds without any issues at all. But if you run WOT for extended periods then this is where you can run into problems. 50:1 will not hurt your motor and is better for it in the long run. I have still to this day have NEVER fouled a plug on any of the 3 motors I have from that era that recommend 100:1 and all I run is 50:1 [/QUOTE]
