Stand back...I have the above outboard. Can anyone give me a few refresher how to's on how to run this thing? Been a long time since I have used an outboard with adjustments.<br />Also, what is the mix ratio?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Pete

OK youve got a 61 5.5. Mix is 24:1.<br /> 5.5 hp @ 4,000 rpm,8.84 cu. in. J6C plug @ .030<br /> points .020.<br /> Initial mix settings both high a low needles turn out 3/4 turn from gently bottomed then adjust at speed to best performance.You may<br />need to remove the knobs to set right,then install<br />knobs at the middle setting.<br /> To start push primer on tank pull choke set on start and give her a few tugs.
