Location: Northern Illinois | So I figured out that my 175 Johnson 2 stroke outboard has the VRO disconnected and that I'm going to have to mix the gas manually. What type oil do I need to mix with the gas? And also what ratio will it have to be? 50:1? Any suggestions help... Thanks Cranker |

On the older Johnson motors, the mix was a 50:1 ratio and was recommended to use when the VRO pump has been disconnected. Amsoil HP injector could be used at the 50:1 ratio, but any other TC3-W oil will work. This will be a touch more expensive than the BRP 2 stroke oil, but it will not smoke anywhere near as much and will burn cleaner throughout the engine.

| I use the amsoil too.. They did change the name a year or 2 ago though, so the HP injector is now called HP marine..
