What is the ratio of oil and gas that I need to mix for my Nissan 2-Stroke outboard?

Nissan Marine Outboards - Authorized Distributor Offering Bo...
With the exception of our outboards which have oil injection systems, Nissan 2-stroke outboards require a 50:1 (2.5 ounces of oil for each gallon of gas) oil/gas mixture after the initial break-in period. Nissan outboards which have oil injection will automatically mix the correct amount of oil and gas depending on the engine requirements; you don't have to pre-mix your oil & gas with these systems. We've put together a handy chart to help you calculate the amount of oil/gas to mix.

Do I still need to mix the oil in the gas?

FAQ
stroke (or 2 cycle) engines burn oil (special 2 stroke oil) and must have oil mixed with the gas.  With modern 2 stroke scooters you do not need to premix the 2 cycle oil and the gasoline. The scooter does it for you automatically. All you need to do is pour the 2T oil in the oil reservoir and then the engine injects the proper amount of oil at the right time. Not only is this convenient but it also uses much less oil and makes the engine run cleaner.

I have a Nissan 2.5hp (or 3.5hp) outboard. What size shear pin do I need to use?

Nissan Marine Outboards - Authorized Distributor Offering Bo...
For the 2-stroke models, any 5/32" x 1" (4mm x 24mm) shear pin will work just fine. There are two types of shear pins available; brass and stainless steel. Brass shear pins will "give" if you strike an underwater object, however, brass shears pins may also break more easily if shifting or accelerating too quickly. Stainless steel shear pins are much harder than brass shear pins and won't give if striking an object and may cause damage to the prop.

How do I mix Gas and Oil for my pocket bike?

Pocket Bike Safety - Pocket Bikes, Midi Bikes, Mini Choppers...
The standard engine mixing ratio for Gas and Oil is 50 to 1, however some brands of pocket bikes using off brand engines may need a mixing ratio for Gas to Oil at 25 to 1. Be sure to read your owners manual before fueling your pocket bike. A new engine should have a richer mixture of 40 to 1 for the first tank of fuel to help with proper break in. Do not use a mixture of less than 40 to 1 as it will be too rich and may foul the spark plug.
