Should I or shouldn't I disconnect?

[jstaz]

My 1994 Tohatsu 60 HP has an oil tank and it does the whole auto injection thing. However, I have read and heard and been told that many fellas don't trust that system because if it fails you burn up the motor. They state to mix your gas.

Should I do this for insurance?
Do I need to disconnect the oil injector system or can I mix and keep that system operational?
Whether I keep it hooked up or only mix the gas... What ratio should I mix? 50:1? 25:1?

I am new at all this so any help and comments would be helpful. Thanks in advance y'all.

That oiling system is extremely reliable. Nobody premixes on these motors. If you did decide to do a premix, 50:1 is OK. If you disconnect the system, you would also need to disconnect the oil level sensor, or the empty tank reading would give you a low oil alarm all the time.

Thank you for the input and the help. I think I will leave things hooked up and not bother with mixing at this point.
