Looking for what year model my Johnson 60hp 2 stroke is

[wiz351]

Hi everyone I have just signed up to this site to see if i can find out what year model and what oil ratio i should mix my Johnson 60hp 2 stroke outboard. I bought my Savage Osprey 2yrs ago and the dude i bought it off didn't know what year it was or what ratio i should mix the oil. He said he has always mixed it at 25:1 but wasn't quite sure. All the boat shops didn't know either and told me to keep mixing it at 25:1 as it has been running on that mixture for so long. I would also like to get a rapair/workshop manual for it once i find out what model it is. The mod.No-HJ60TLEOC and the Ser.No-G03889289. Looking forward to some feedback on my question

this should help you " outboardbooks.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=models.main&year=1995&ID=89276"
if this is correct, you should be running 50-1.

a little more research, and it appears to be correct. made in Hong Kong.
