Not so sure. Gasoline flashes fairly low. But oil has lower octane than
any gas. So pinking or detonation could still be an issue, no doubt.
That's if the compression still makes it up there.....

It will certainly cause excessive carbon buildup, which will
eventually seize or break the rings, and cause other damage and
runnability issues.

50 to 1 Remember, too much oil will reduce the flash point of the fuel and
create detonation, which will melt piston and head.

OT. I'm reactivating a 1997 Evinrude 9.9 hp outboard and I've
misplaced the owner manual, and I don't remember the proper oil mix
ratio. Is it 50 to 1, or 100 to 1? Thanks.
