gas/oil ratio

[wmaybin]

I know I should know this but just to make sure. I have a johnson 150 fast strike. I premix my gas. What oil to gas ratio should I use?

[SEAHORSE]

Mix the oil to fuel at 2%

[wmaybin]

could you give me a ratio like 25:1 or 50:1?

50:1

2 pints : 12 gallons
1 pint 8 oz : 9 gallons
1 pint : 6 gallons
12 oz : 4 1/2 gallons
8 oz : 3 gallons

I had a older model motor that you had to pre mix the gas at 50:1 and this was the oil:gas ratio that I used. Since you can only buy oil in a pint or a gallon jug I would buy it in a gallon jug (cheaper in the long run) and pour it into a pint bottle. I had 2 pint bottles that were full one that was half full and one 3/4 full that way when I got gas I just added which ever bottle I needed in order to get the right ratio

Just a bit of history:

Johnson and Evnrude went to a 50: ratio back in 1964
