What is the correct oil - gas mix

[pvisser]

I have a 1966 80 HP Johnson engine. There is a sticker on the motor compartment that said that I should mix 1 quart oil with 5 gallons of gas for the first 5 hrs, and the rest is unreadable. Should I still use 50:1 ratio because of the age?<br /><br />Thanks

Yes 50:1.1 quart per 5 gal is just to run oil rich mix until rings are seated and bearings wore in.

So what is the mix I should use now?

50:1,which is 1 pint TCW3 oil per 6.25 gal. of 87 octane gasoline.
