What is the proper fuel mix for an 89 Mariner 20hp outboard motor-2 stroke?

Question

The motor is an outboard with a tiller handle, and it is a two cycle motor. Thanks...

Answer 1

one pint of oil to every 3 gallons gas if 50:1 isnt doing it for you

Answer 2

Definitely 50:1

Answer 3

I concur with the 50:1

In fact a friend of mine is a small engine mechanic, and he says every two stroke engine that leaves his shop is filled with 50:1 mixed with a top quality name brand oil and he never sees a problem, be it chain saws, boat motors, weed whackers, etc.

I have three boat motors, a chain saw and two weedwhackers and they all work fine with the same mix, been doing this for about 4 years now.

Dont suppose you want to sell the motor?? I am lookinig for one.

Answer 4

50 to 1 is normal on all outboards if you don't have oil injection
