Started up an old 1958 Johnson 3 hp that I use occasionally on a canoe. Hasn't run for 2 years and amazingly started 2nd pull.
Now my question
I think it uses 32:1 mix
My chainsaw uses 40:1 mix
My trimmer uses 50:1 mix
I don't use any enough to keep the gas fresh do you think I would be safe using 40:1 or somthing else for everything?
Thanks

"Q - What is the fuel/oil mix for my motor?
A - The following is generally true: 1958 and prior used 20:1, 1959 thru 1963 used 24:1, 1964 and newer use 50:1. High performance usage (racing) requires a ratio of 25:1. New engine break-in (not DI) requires 25:1."
