Being relatively new to 2 stroke motors, i would like to know what other fuel/oil ratios people are using.
I have a 30HP Merc pull start motor. i have been using a mix of 32:1 to run it in. I now have about 20 hours on the clock and i think its time to change this mix. What do other fellow merc users for fuel ratios?

Hi, I use 50:1 in my merc using their premium plus oil.

Check your manual for the recommended mix and then stick to a good premium oil to keep thing clean and long living.

i use 50:1 but every few tanks lean it out to 75:1 to help reduce the oil and smoke build up
