Go with 50:1, they recinded the 100:1 recommendation because of internal corrosion problems. Seems there wasn't enough oil left on things after shutdown to protect the bearings, etc, from sea air.<br /><br />J - Johnson<br />8 - 8hp<br />R - Ropestart<br />CO - 1985<br />B - Model run code.<br /><br />INTRODUCES<br />1234567890<br />So, ER would be '94<br /><br />No problem!
