    endless discussions on fuel oil… opinions differ   seems 16/1 was for  SAE30 grade oil     with modern tcw3 …24/1 seems fine     synthetics probably even better  and.. .to clean the innards  xd-100 $$$$

    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 🙂
