Skipper62 · 20-06-2009, 15:49

Does anyone know what the fuel mixture is on a 1972 Evinrude 5HP motor serial number 6802R E11136?

Skipper62 · 20-06-2009, 16:09

I quess it's a 6hp motor and a 1978 model

Yes its 50 to 1=- I used to have one back in the day and remember it well

Thanks Ram. I just bought a Macgregor 222 with this motor on it. I'm going tomorrow to get new fuel lines and see if it will run. If not what would be a good inexpensive replacement?

Aloha Skipper62,
Good luck on your Evinrude. I don't think you can get a better engine for your boat so even if you had to spend a few bucks getting it running properly you might be money ahead. A 4 cycle will be too heavy for the stern in my opinion.
Kind regards,
JohnL

For an inexpensive replacement; get someone else to pay for it.

A five horsepower Honda four stroke weighs 60 pounds. A five horsepower two stroke Mercury weighs 45 pounds. I don't think that 15 pounds would make any noticeable difference.
