Just got an 87 evinrude outboard,no manual came with it. the sticker on the side says 100 to 1 mix, doesn't that seem lean, i thought it would be a 50 to 1 mix. also does anyone know the proper spark plugs and gaps, thank you very much

Re: fuel mix

The 100:1 ratio was later retracted.

Use TCW-3 rated oil-only at 50:1.

Sparkplugs are dependant on the horsepower.?

Re: fuel mix

Manuals for that engine are readily available in the IBoats Marine Store and on EBay and Amazon. It's a good investment at a reasonable price. I bought the SELOC, which is somewhat generic, but useful. I believe you can find a year specific manual for an Evinrude.
