| Re: Johnson 25HP fuel mix?? My Evinrude 25 HP 1981 is 25:1 petrol/oil mix. The Evinrude and Johnson are virtually identical with parts being interchangeable. The mixture recommendation is shown on a label inside the top cover. I don't know of any problems, they are reliable and well thought of. __________________ Fruit? - That's what keeps me going. |

| Re: Johnson 25HP fuel mix?? Hi ther, I have been running a johnson outboard for years, they are good engines, parts are easy to get and not so expensive as some other engines. I use a 50.1 mix, but its a 75bhp. i also have a mariner 115 thats a pain in the A++. the johnson was used by the navy and the RNLI for a long time so they can,t be to bad can they. |

| Re: Johnson 25HP fuel mix?? the fuel mix is 50to1, if the engine as not been ran for sometime, cut the mix down a bit after engine frees up. But 1st trip is a 50.1 mix. this information is from the johnson site. Hope this helps, terry |

| Re: Johnson 25HP fuel mix?? All Johnson/Evinrude engines run on 50:1. Some have stickers on that say to run them on 100:1, but these instructions should be ignored. Running the engine too lean could lead to melting a piston. The only OMC engines that ran on a different mixture were pre 1960, I think, which had different bearings in them. They run on a 24:1 mix. I have owned plenty of Johnson/Evinrude engines and rate them very highly. |
