It is 24:1. Some suggest running a little leaner, say 36:1, because of the better oil technology nowadays, but I'd stick with the 24:1 to be safe.

I have a Wards sea King 3.5 hp. It is white, egg shaped and the water pump is just a tube turned to point at the propeller. I am not sure of the year but it does have the factory sticker stating the fuel mixture. Says to mix half pint of SAE 30 weight oil to one gallon of gas. That figures out to a 16:1 ratio

hope that helps.
