ESKA 3.5 Outboard: fuel mixture?

[bencharl31]

I've purchased an ESKA 3.5 Outboard Motor (Model 1945-8) and am trying to find out the correct fuel mixture for this particular motor. Unfortunately as ESKA appears to have ceased trading as a manufacturer back in 1987 there doesn't appear to be any agents for ESKA in the UK. If anyone out there can advise me on this it be be gratefully appreciated!

I believe that if you examine the model #s closely--perhaps under magnification---you'll find that last digit to be a 'B' rather than an '8
If so you'll find fuel/oil mix ( 32/1) along with a lot of other data here:
