[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 205467, member: 3278"] You can start that engine just as easily on double the oil (24:1) as the normal amount of oil. Almost any OMC owner manual stated to run 24:1 if running at extended WOT or racing and that engine had to be started before doing that. You can run plenty of extra oil and the engine should start just fine. Your ignition system is alot hotter than engines built in the 30s through the 50s and they ran as much as 16:1 ratio and started just fine. [/QUOTE]
