[QUOTE="tnriverluver, post: 274574, member: 9284"] I bought brand new in 1988 a Lowe 160 Alum. bass boat with a Johnson 48 Spl. One of the first motors to run 100:1 that I am aware of. We ran that motor 100:1 the first year and then Johnson recommended 50:1 instead. Yeah it smokes a little more but never had a problem. A few years after selling that boat I bought another Identical rig from a widow and always ran it 100:1 but would mix 50:1 the first tank in the spring and again on my last use of the year. Most problems I always heard about where cold starts after a long period of sitting. I personally have never had an outboard fail on me mechanically other than a mid 70;s 115 merc tower of power and that was because I was young and screwed with the timing unknowingly trying to fix an idle issue. Costly mistake!!!!, but that motor ran better than it ever had after a rebuild and to the best of my knowledge is still running strong today. [/QUOTE]
