mid 60's Evinrude gas/oil mix??

Post by **DaveH** » Sun Jun 11, 2006 6:59 am

Hey gang, I may post this in the main forum too, as I've never actually looked in here before, so I don't know how much traffic it gets *laughs*

OK so my big question is this; I have just received an old 9.9hp (or 10?)Evinrude. It's from somewhere circa 1963-1965 or so I'd say. Great motor for sure!!

Question is, what's the oil/gas mix I should be using, and what TYPE of oil should I be using??

I really wanna get this figured out so I can try starting her, and seeing what other kind of work she needs!

Thanks!!

Hi Dave,

Try this site to determine the actual hp and year of the motor.

Looks like if its a 9.9 its from the 70's.

Once you have the year, post a msg in

for your best chance at oil mixes.

For my old 1935 Johnson 8.1 hp, the mix is 3/4 pint to a gallon.

Good Luck,
