[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 412645, member: 12995"] My oil injection pump was bad when I got the motor (1994 60/45 jet) so I've been premixing. I ran 80:1 to 100:1 in my old 1999 Johnson 40 as well. Remember, the 50:1 mix is the ratio needed for WOT. The oil injection or VRO mixes closer to 100:1 at lower speeds. I don't blast around at WOT and I usually only run for 10-15 minutes at a time so I don't have an issue with the 80:1 mix. If you're going to need to run close to WOT for any amount of time then the 50:1 is a much safer mix. It really depends on the overall combination of the conditions, location, boat/passenger weight, running time. [/QUOTE]
