what gas to oil ratio


A quick Google search says that 24:1 is the consensus. Some people say
that if you are using a modern synthetic you can go to 40:1.

If it were mine, I'd start with 24:1 and see how much it smokes.

24 to 1 was a standard mix back in that day. Also pretty standard
was "a half pint to a gallon" Gotta wonder when the last time that
outboard ran...

I still have my British Seagull 40 Plus that uses a 10:1 ratio. Brutal when you have a brisk following wind .
You end up choking on your own heavy blue exhaust smoke.
The 3hp motor with the large fan type thrust propeller was pretty slow.
