[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 39318, member: 55"] 50:1 is the correct ratio for that motor. For others reading this, the official stance on OMC (Johnson/Evinrude/Gale) motors from 1964 to the current is 50:1. Now, some of the small motors (under 10 horse) from '64 up until the early to mid 70s will prefer 40:1, as they still had the bronze sleeve bearings. Why do you need the whole lower unit? What is the matter with yours? You said it ran well with 50:1, so obviously, the lower unit isn't toasted, or you couldn't run it period. You may be able to do better by getting the individual part(s). [/QUOTE]
