1997 Sunbird Neptune 160cc (60hp Johnson)

[cgfern]

Hello all,
Can someone point me int he right way to get specs for my Sunbird Neptune 160 cc (1997)? I am trying to find out how big the gas tank is. Also, what is the correct ratio for oil/fuel for my Johnson 60? Its my first boat and I'm trying to get everything taken care of onit so it last a long time, next issue will be chaning out the broken fish finder...that should be real fun for me!

The fuel mix is amost certainly 50:1, CG.

That is assuming your engine is newer than 1964 and is not oil injected. If it is oil injected you needn't mix any oil in the fuel, but just keep oil in the oil tank.

Its deffinately newer than 1964, and it isn't fuel injected.

Oil injection is not the same as fuel injection. My Johnson had carbs and oil injection. Even if the motor does have the oil injection feature, you can NOT assume it is in working order. Sad to say, but many, many guys deliberately disable this device and mix in the tank instead. Without passing on that little tidbit of informantion when the boat is sold.

Correct. Give us a model number.

There are other things you need to know also.
