older evinrude motor

[gysurshot]

I recently purchased an older boat and motor. The motor is an evinrude 35 model 35753H electric start. I think it is a 1977 model from what I have been able to find. I have two questions - 1. what gas oil mix do I use? The guy said he was using 25:1 but that seemed a little oil rich and he kept getting fouled plugs.<br />2. I have been searching for a basic owners manual online just to download the basics and can't find one. Can anyone help me?

that motor should be run on 50to1 mixture . that is what i run my 79 on also my 74 50 hp if you are going to do a lot of idling you could put les oil. i was told that the vro puts less oil in when idling . when i rebuilt my 50 hp i added some extry oil . it foweled the plugs . i use a<br />QL77jC4 in my 1979 papasage...................

Yes it is.<br />35753 Evinrude 1977 35 HP<br />There is no 1977 Evinrude Owners Manuals to download.<br />Only for Nissan/Tohatsu<br /> http://www.nissanmarine.com/tech_talk/owners_manuals.html <br /> http://www.tohatsu.com/tech_info/ <br /><br />This one is quite good <br /> http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/safetips.htm

Is the Nissan motor the same specs? I looked at the web page you sent me and it had the Nissan model numbers listed. Can I equate one of them to my Evinrude?<br />Thanks for the replies.

No they are not. Just for the basics. <br />You'd be much better off with the proper repair manual for your engine.<br />I don't know exactly what basic's you are looking for. Sorry.<br /><br /> http://www.outboardrepairs.com/manuals/
