Did some research online and believe this engine was built by either Mercury or Chrysler. Model 225 597500. Need help with the fuel/oil ratio and which is hte manufacturer. Also, not sure if water cooled or air cooled and what type of oil to use. I was told I could just use regular small engine oil purchased from Home Depot. Is this correct? Thanks so much.

It probably needs a 50:1 mix with "2 stroke" oil unless it's really old say before 1965 then it may require even richer oil up to maybe 24:1.
