Fuel Oil Ratio.

[darbymcdo]

I just recently acquired a 1966 20HP Chrysler. It is a strange looking beast. Electric start and electric choke. With a camel hump on the engine cover. Everything I can dig up online tends to point towards a 50:1 fuel/oil ratio. Can anyone confirm this for me. Also, is there a way to tighten up the steering on this motor. It is tiller driven. My arm gets tired after 10-15 minutes of the motor trying to pull me overboard.

50:1 is correct, Darby.

Good luck.

Darby, I had a 1959 outboard 35hp that we mixed 1qt. of oil to every 6gals. of fuel, some older motors required a stronger mix. I'm sure these other guys know whar they are doing. Don't want to confuse you just thought I would throw my 2 cents worth in. Actually just glad to know I'm not the only one in the world named Darby. Good luck! Darby in ks.
