i have a 75 jonhson 9.9 2 stroke and i was running it on the nautilus @ canadian tire.

i had oil comming out of the exaust. and i ask a marine specialist.

he told me my mix was to rich.

and that i should switch to synthech oil. and lower my mix 60 /1

but maybe this has something to do with old engins.

:roll:

I have run that for years in my red band 115 merc.,it mixes 500ml,to 25 litres of gas,for 50 to 1 mix.,i usually go 24 litres,a tad richer mix.,sometimes she smokes a little at low idle,but she runs clean and smooth @WOT.,and the main thing is, she doesn't ever run lean.(absolute no no for any 2 stroke)

I have been using Amsoil HP Injector with zero issues. Almost no smoke now.
