Hi,
I was just given a boat with a 1970 Johnson 60 hp. Just wondering what to mix the gas and oil?
Thanks
Jack

50 : 1.. thats near enough 1 pint oil in 6 gallons of gasoline.

otherwise 2.56 fluid ounces per US gallon

If you are lucky enough to be able to use metric measures its 20ml oil to 1 litre of gasoline

Correct oil is of course TCW3

The lower unit is an electric shift and requires type-C gear oil.------Many folks scoff at the electric shift but they are actually very good and reliable.--Any sign of water getting in ? If so you need to consider a seal kit.

Have not heard of manuka? Now the bees are in the Almonds making money.

Ive heard of that Almond industry, in California somewhere from recall. Cant say ive tried almond honey so i suppose its all about the pollination.
February sounds rarely early for a blossom but i suppose if it is California they probably dont have much of a winter.
Just varroa treating mine today, starting to get some resistance to the miticides here, troubles brewing
