I have a Scott atwater 5 HP outboard motor. I think it is 1960 or something like that. Please let me know what oil to mix with gas and how much oil to put in a gallon of gas.

Re: Scott atwater 5 HP outboard motor

Back in the early 60s, most engines had switched to 50-1 ratio or 1 pint oil for 6 gallons gas.

Of course, if you want to be safe, go 24 to 1 and if she starts to foul plugs badly
try decreasing,.

Unless it is a plain bearing engine though, 50-1 would be correct.

Try the old outboard site for a more definite answer.
