Re: ratio

It's probably 50:1 (assuming). Personally, I don't think that's adequate for that motor. That thing runs much hotter than most outboards. At least use chainsaw oil. After all, that powerhead was originally designed as a chainsaw. Oh, FYI it's a Clinton motor.

CEPCO (formerly Clinton Engines) 605 E maple Maquoketa, Iowa 52060. If you phone you may get info with contact info. Be patient. Ph 563-652-2411. FAX 563-652-3427.

Re: ratio

My after market ser. manual says 48:1 Might as well call it 50:1 all my manuals 55-85 say quality outboard oil.I use TCW3 rated outboard oil.
Nothing wrong with quality 2 stroke/chainsaw oil.
