I’m looking for a 1977 Johnson engine cover latch for the right side, Anyone have any suggestions where I could find it. Also can anyone tell me what the proper oil mixture is for this motor, hard to start but runs great after it starts. Thanks for your help!

50:1 mix .Are you priming and choking engine properly on startup?If so,try replacing sparkplugs .Local shop may have a used latch for motor cowling.
