New member........first boat.......old motor

[kimsmith4807]

Hello to all. I'm new to iboat and fairly new to boating. Just bought me and my son our first fishing boat. Nothing spectacular, 12' aluminum in decent shape. It has a 1963 Johnson 10hp model QD-24B for a motor. I asked the seller about the fuel/oil ratio and he said he mixed it according to the ratio on the oil container. Not sure what that was. So, I'm sure there are some folks out there that can tell me the proper ratio to use as well as where I can find a manual. A free one would be nice but paying for one will work too. Thanks and look forward to hearing from me as I will have lots of newbie questions about my new boat.

your fuel oil ratio is 24:1 87 octane unleaded : TC-W3 outboard motor oil.
