  • Need help with fuel ratio

    Brand new member on this board and hoping somebody could answer a question about a 2002 40HP 2 stroke outboard that I just bought. Can anybody tell me what the correct fuel mixture is that I should be filling the tank with. The previous owner says 50:1 but I heard somebody also say that he uses 100:1 in his Yamaha. The motor does not excessively smoke during idle and the plugs looked to be reasonably clean so I'm thinking it should run on 50:1 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Use quality oil at 50:1, some Yamahas are run at 100:1 but they are right on the lean edge at higher RPM.

      Why not read your owners manual to see what yamaha recommends?
