That's 1 pint oil added to 6 gal gas. Do your self a favor and only use good
oil and high test gas.

can anyone tell me what the correct mixture is for a 1973 50 hp evinrude
is?

please reply to post or e-mail at


thanks,

OK. I am confused. 50:1 means 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil. Example: 50 liters of gas to 1 liter of oil.By my calculations 6 US gallons equals 22.7 liters. This means you should put about 0.45 of a liter of oil in to get a 50:1 mix.(Simply put - 100:2 or 50:1 or 25:0.5) Can someone tell me what I am missing?
Thanks


The short answer to your question is 'yes'. To get a 50 to 1 ratio with 22.7 liters, you would mix
in .454 liters of oil.

Amen.
