Outboard topics

[deputydawg]

I posted on outboard topics, but historically they are slow replying. I have finally sold my old tri hull and need to get it cleaned up and ready to go. <br />Can anyone tell me what the proper gas/oil mix is for a 77 Johnson 70hp outboard?<br />Also the proper plug gap for the same?

Thanks so much. I must have been thinkin of something else when I mixed it 16:1. Probably why it is smoking so much.

You waited 14 minutes, DD. <br /><br />This is not a chatroom. If 14 minutes is "historically slow" you have unrealistic expectations.

My mistake. <br />I didn't mean slow today. Long long ago I posted on a different outboard problem a question there and it took a day or two to get the excelent well informed answer I was looking for. Not a problem normaly. <br />For some reason I never thought of this one as being outboard non repair. <br />I figured this would get moved but was crunched for time and didn't think it would hurt anything. Will try to make it to the right forum next time. <br />Thanks for the great advice too, it is amazing how good it runs now that I have the right oil mix. Runs great and I think I have it sold.

No worries, DD. <br /><br />It is a nuisance and takes several minutes to move a post.<br /><br />This one could have gone either way. . .Troubles or Non-Repair.
