[QUOTE="Tallpine, post: 379067, member: 14989"] Curious about what motor you have. That could make a big dif. I know a lot of newer motors will run 100:1 safely. I had a 89 15hp Johnson that ran at 100:1 but the manual said to increase ratio to 50:1 for heavy duty use. My 89 25hp Yamaha has variable oil injection. It runs at 100:1 at idle and the ratio changes as rpms increase. Right now your problem is figuring out what ratio you have in the tank. If you are like most people you probably fudged on the plus side when adding oil so you may have had more oil in it than you thought. [/QUOTE]
