That is a 5 hp.<br /> http://www.bosunsmate.co.uk/archimedes_penta.htm <br />Not sure about the fuel/oil mix. Probably 50:1 but I'm not sure.

Thanks, looked @ that website , thought it was about a 5hp but its got no clutch and is forward only.<br /><br />the 5hp's on that website have FNR, mine must be a strange model...<br /><br />Many thanks.

I believe if it is air cooled, you should run chainsaw oil, not outboard oil. Not sure on the ratio, however.
