[Tim's son]

I have a '91 Johnson Tracker 25 hp outboard. What is the correct fuel mix for this engine? Help me if you can.

I appreciate the quick reply. I was pretty certain the 50:1 ratio was correct. Any thoughts on a particular oil. Not sure what previous owner used.

just make sure its TCW3 rated....that will be advertised on the bottle...I use Johnson X-50 semi synthetic in my 1980 9.9 (I mix the oil for this old beast) and my 1992 Johnson 90 VRO (the VRO mixes it automajically to 50:1)....

OH and invest in a graduated cylinder that shows exactly how much oil to put in your gas...pay attention....too much oil is a waste and not enough isn't good either...these are available at boat shops/
