Johnson 35 Fuel Quesion

[pikeman94]

Hello everyone! This is my first post.

I just bought a 1982 Procraft 1400 with a Johnson 35 from a friend. This is definitely a project boat. That being said, I need to know what the oil to gas mixture is for this particular engine. My friend told me he used 50:1 as that was all that was available at the pump near the lake he went to, but I just want to be sure. Does anyone out there have any idea? The model number on the motor is J35ELCND. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

50:1 is correct. 1 pint of oil to 6 gal of gas

Thanks! Next dumb question, what kinda of oil and is 87 octane gas acceptable?

Re: Johnson 35 Fuel Quesion

87 octane is good, any higher is a waste of money. There is much discussion about which oil is best. I use the Johnson OMC full synthetic myself, but some tend to like the cheaper brands, as long as it is certified , that is the main thing.

Any TC-W3 outboard oil should be sufficient. It's available with most brands. But like motor oil, everybody has thier preference.
