Now ain't that real sporty?

I know what your thinking....that's cool; but wait a minute, I can't carry this computer on my next fishing trip.

O yeah, and by the way, how about my weed-eater and chainsaw?
They don't run on 50 to 1 ratio!

Well......that's where you'll have to carry a pencil and some paper along and maybe a buddy that can operate them :-)

Use the following as a guideline for arriving at different ratios and for at the pump calculations:

Example of calculation:

GALLONS X 128 (ounces) / RATIO = OUNCES OF OIL TO MIX WITH GAS

6 gallons X 128 (ounces) / 50 (50:1 ratio) = 15.36 ounces of oil for 6 gallons of gas.

128 ounces = 1 gallon
1 ounce = 0.0296 liters
16 ounces = 1 pint
1 gallon = 3.789 liters
2 pints = 1 quart
4 quarts = 1 gallon

Always use the certified "NMMA TC-W" two cycle engine oil approved for your outboard motor.

Just remember that when in doubt, it's always best to add a little more oil which may foul the plugs a little.

Too little oil can damage the internal parts of a two stroke motor as that is your lubrication for crankshaft, bearings, connecting rods, etc.
