1963 lightwin

[pete j]

Scored a great running 3 hp lightwin that only needs a impeller so far. Was wondering what the fuel to oil ratio should be? being that Ive never owned a motor that old. Model # 3302s and serial # 12065. Thanks for any and all help

24:1. Some will say 16:1. That's ok too (can't hurt).

Some will also say 50:1, 40:1, 32:1, etc.
+1 w/FR.. 24:1

I vote for the 24:1......

24 to 1 is what I am going to use. I was running 50 to 1 in it to make sure it runs but I thought it might be over heating. Thanks again everyone

With the bearing set up in that motor, 24:1 is the best.

24 to 1 and new impeller was the perfect combo. Thanks everyone :joyous:
