    Default Correct oil/gas mix

    I have a 20 Hp Evinrude that I got when my cousin died last year - I think motor is about 10-15years old.
    I’m just used to 4-stroke engines - what is the correct oil to gas mix for these motors?

    Evinrude use 100;1 but you can run 50;1

    Agreed, but with a high end synthetic 2 stroke oil like Amsoil they do say you can get away with 100:1

    might have to try that...do you think it would help a 2 stroke cold start easier with less oil?

    1) What is my fuel/oil ratio? Johnson and Evinrude carbureted 2-stroke outboards since 1964 require a 50:1 fuel to oil mixture (2%) on engines without an automatic oiling system – 6 gallons of gas to 1 pint of outboard oil.Sep 5, 2012

    I think for 100 to 1 you are referring to Amsoil Sabre not designed for outboards though. That's is made for small engines like chainsaws.
    Amsoil marine oil is 50 to 1.
