What Petrol/Oil Mix for Evinrude 50
Hi
Could anyone out there advise me as to the petrol/oil mix for an 80s vintage Evinrude 50 thanks anyone |
|
Most likely 50:1.
And don't forget to use a good quality oil. "Tony" wrote in message om... Hi Could anyone out there advise me as to the petrol/oil mix for an 80s vintage Evinrude 50 thanks anyone |
After having no issue with my (sold) old gear (100Hp Johnson 1971) that did
not want to quit I have doubts about oil quality impact here. Can't imagine all previous owners always have bought top stuff (?!). My conclusion would be: never run the engine without the oil or wrong (too little oil) ratio. That is a true killer. Ironically my engine seemed happier with lower end brands (mainly Johnson) - less smoke and more even idle. Try to figure that... "name" wrote in message . .. Most likely 50:1.

Johnson oil is not a lower end oil. It is the manufacturer oil. That would
be considered name brand. -- Tony my boats and cars at http://t.thomas.home.mchsi.com "Proxy" wrote in message ...

When I said to use a good quality oil I did not mean that you have to use THE BEST quality oil that you can find. What I really meant was DO NOT use a crappy cheapo oil. Any of the major manufacturers' oils like Johnson is good. It's just not worth it to buy the cheapest oil you can find to save a few cents....especially if you are not exactly sure about the mixture ratio. You have more leeway on the mixture ratio if you use a good oil than if you use a lousy oil, that was my point. |
My dealer told me to only use "yammylube" in my 130 HP yamaha. Or i will
void my warranty.( he noticed an empty Valvolene oild bottle in the boat at service.) Both oils comform to the standard that is specified in the hand book ( TCW3) the Valvolene is about $5.00 cheaper for 4 litres than the Yammy lube. I cant see any reason to use anything different. even the hand book says to use Yammy lube or a TCW3 oil. Paul. "Tony" wrote in message om...

The warranty is spec'd out to TCW3 and any oil that conforms to that standard is valid. That does not mean that Yamalube doesn't have a "special" ingredient though. Later, Tom |
Go by what the book and common sense tells you, not what the dealer wishes
you to do. We'd be all benkrupt long ago if they had it their way. Proxy "Short Wave Sportfishing" wrote in message ...
