Johnson CD-10 Fuel/Oil Ratios | Boating Forum – iboats Boating Forums
I sold 5.5 Evinrude (1955) to a friend a few years ago and told him use no less than 1 liter oil /25 l of fuel.
He still likes the kicker and says it does load up the plugs after a long day of fishing …he has reduced the oil ratio (less oil) a bit and the engine runs fine……till it dies I guess 🙂
