  • correct oil/fuel ratio for a 2000 50hp

    I don't have a manual yet I'm holding out for a proper yamaha shop manual
    Anyways I picked up a used 50 hp year 2000 2stroke and I'm currently mixing 50:1 and have been told by a few people that I could go with 100:1 but I just wondered what the factory recommended ratio is
    Anyone know for sure
    It seems a little smoky but better than no smoke at all

    have you tried reading the owners manual for your motor?
    Outboard Owners Manuals

    You can also pick up service manuals from them or any Yamaha dealer

      If you do not want smoke try semi syn oil

      Pennzoil semi syn is pretty good and run at 50 to 1. Motor only needs 100 to 1 at idle but all out needs 50 to 1.
