I was given an Evinrude 2cycle twin cylinder. Would like any information avalible. Seriel # is 3012-48342. I know that the mixture ratio is 16:1.<br />The lower cover says lightwin. It is direct drive and the throttle-advance is controled by a level coming thru the case. Thank you.

Hi Crooked,<br /> If you're using high quality oil and quality gasoline (89 seems to be more consistent than 87) then you should be able to lean out the oil to 24:1 without any problem. It'll be a little less smokey, will build up less carbon internally and you'll be less likely to foul a plug. Today's TCW3 oils are MUCH better for the motors than the regular SAE-30 they recommended back in the day...<br />- Scott
