Hey All,

Was just wondering if anybody could give me some insight on the proper fuel/oil mixture for an engine this old.

As always I appreciate any info.....

Thanks!
Joe

Has been a pint of BIA certified (TCW 3) 2 cycle oil to 6 gallons of gasoline, usually regular since late 50's, early '60 time frame. WW has it in Quicksilver and Pennzoil in the sporting goods section.

50:1 is the mix as said. However save your money. Any 2 cycle oil speced to TCW-3 is fine, you don't need a brand name oil like quicksilver.
