First of all I'd like to say thank you to all that responded to my questions a few weeks ago about a 1963 5.5 fisherman I picked up. $80 later and this motor is unreal! Runs through the weeds like their not even there and will plain my gheenoe with two of us in it. I use it to duck hunt.
My question is my machanic told me that the 50:1 mix would be fine because back in 1963 the oil isn't what it is now, I use Quicksilver. Well at 50:1 she smokes pretty good at an idle but hasn't fouled a plug so far in 5 trips. Should I keep it at that mix or use a little less oil?
Thanks in advance!
