Hi. It's almost time to get into the water and I would like to know what are the specific types of oil and gas and the correct mix ratio to use in a 1955 CD-12 5.5HP motor? Thank you.

16-1 for the fuel mix but I have had good luck With A 24-1 mix. 87 octane is A good choice. If the motor has anything original In the fuel system. I would stay away from Anything erhanol. Use tcw -3 oil

Thanks flyingscott... the carb has a new kit but all else is original. I'll look to stay away from ethanol. Thanks
