    Fuel oil mix is 48:1 (50:1 with a smidge extra).
    Gear oil is any TWC-3 (Wal Mart $4.98 qt. Pennzoil) or similar.
    Fish weren't biting, so I rushed home to answer your question.
    Have a great day.

    jerryjerry05,

    You are absolutely correct. What was I thinking?
    TWC-3 is gasoline oil...
    I better get me a couple beers...my head ain't on straight.
    Thanks for correcting my boo-boo.
