Re: Oil ratio for a Scott Atwater 16

[billw]

Thanks Jim. This is the reason I "asked the same question again." I suspected someone might have an answer to it. If Scott issued a bulletin for 40:1 in place of 16:1, then it must be similar to OMC saying you could use 50:1 where they used to call for 24:1. I am well aware that you can’t do that on bushed engines, but let’s say a 1956 15 OMC would run just fine on it. I suspected that MIGHT also be the case with certain Scotts and the 16 hp ratio seemed crazy. Heck, even if I can run it on my usual 24:1, that I use for my other full bearing engines, I will be happy. Thanks again.

Long live American manufacturing!
