Can you let me know how old my engine is?

Johnson 30 HP
J30TELCDM
E6196163

also it says 100:1 but I would like to run 50:1 gas:eek:il mix

Any help would be appreciated. Runs a bit rough a low speed and some blue smoke.

That is a 1986. yes, run it at 50:1

They recalled those just to put on a new sticker (50:1) due to some rust/corrosion while being stored for long periods of time. You can still run it at 100:1, but 50:1 is safer, especially if it goes for long periods w/o running.

50:1 synthetic pre-mix or oil blend is nice.

1986-1994 30 is actually 35 hp. If you check the Evinrude parts list you'll find that there is no difference but cowl in the "30" and 35. Marketing. 50:1
for less than 6000 RPM. 25:1 above that.
