JOHNSON 5.5

[CHILLYWILLY]

I JUST BOUGHT A JOHNSON 5.5, MODEL NO. CD-12 AND S/N 1186296. WHAT IS THE PROPER FUEL MIX? WHAT YEAR IS IT? AND WHERE DO I GET PARTS FOR THE FUEL CONNECTION, FROM THE TANK TO THE ENGINE BRACKET.

Hello.<br />It is a 1955.The mix would be 1:24 or at most 1:32,because of much better outboard 2 cycle oil.<br />You must use TWC-3 not lawn mower 2 cycle mix.<br />www.tcoutboard.com <br />is the place for your spare parts.

New oil doesn't change the fact that your engine has friction bearings. Use 24:1<br /><br />Good luck.
