    Can someone tell me about my 53 Evinrude 15 on the rods weather or not they had needles or not? I’m thinking they did but not sure. Asking why the inside the cowl, it stated ” for convenience mix 1 qt in a 5 gallon container. Result was 19 qts of gas to 1 qt of oil.
    Anyone know? Needles or bushings?
    Always run my 78 Evinrude 85 @ 40/1 ratio. Heard the rings are close to the crown of the piston.

    Jeff,

    That motor has needles on the crankshaft end of the rod.
