YEP, I put this in the motor forum as well... *laughs*
OK so my big question is this; I have just received an old 9.9hp (or 10?)Evinrude. It's from somewhere circa 1963-1965 or so I'd say. Great motor for sure!!
Question is, what's the oil/gas mix I should be using, and what TYPE of oil should I be using??
I really wanna get this figured out so I can try starting her, and seeing what other kind of work she needs!
Thanks!!
PS...if it IS a 10hp and not a 9.9, do I have to register it?? Or do I just need the operator card? I can't remember what the rule is. The boat is 14ft
MID 60's Evinrude gas/oil mix??

24:1 is the correct mixture required by the manufacturer. These motors used cams(bushings) instead of bearings & require the higher level of lubrication.Jebby wrote:i have a 1954 johnson 10 horse.... i run it at 24:1 its a lil smokey but it runs great and its way better to have a lil much oil than not enough
In 1964 the replaced the 10 hp with the 9.5 hp which used actual bearings which allowed the use of the 50:1 mixture.
