85' 6hp Oil Ratio?

[Salty Dog]

I've been runnin it at 50:1 and it seems to load up. Is it supposed to be 100:1?

There were a few years in the mid-80s that Johnnyrude tried the 100:1 ratio, but they quietly abandoned that idea after only a year or two. Merc never did. Stick with 50:1 unless all you do is troll with it. If it just idles around all day, go with 100:1.
