The mixture should be 50:1, 50 litres of gas to one litre of oil.

what year is the motor mite make a differance.

safest way I know to mix is in a 20 liter jerrycan
400 ml of oil for 20 liters of gas for 50 to 1

Here's a site that I use a lot when mixing different sized gas cans and oil/gas ratios for the outboard, chainsaw, etc.....

Since I suffer from CRS (Can't Remember Stuff); I've started labeling the different gas cans using duct tape. I list the ratio and which chainsaw, weedeater etc. Now if I can only remember where I put my pen ....

Joco johnsons 2 stroke motors 3 years ago were 100 to 1 ratio I almost bought one but I liked the Merc better.

Send Micropterus(??spelling) a pm he'll know for sure.

It really doesn't matter the make of motor but most are 50/1 and at that ratio the motor will last more than 20 years. At 100/1 like yamaha recommmends for their engines the live will be half that. But they smoke less BIG DEAL they last longer.

Error on the side of caution.You may go through a plug or 2 ,but to burn a motor up is a bad deal.Go heavy on the oil.
