You can get a fuel mix bottle at Wally world and elsewhere for about $4 that shows u exactly how much oil to use for many different oil:gas ratios. Handy to have.
Allow me to re-inforce what Xcusme said, the water pump needs to be serviced at least every few seasons just like any other outboard. This is critical to the survival of the engine, since overheating will very quickly destroy an engine. Once you've seen it start, it should be the very next service you perform on it before pressing it into service.
Because the motor hasn't been run in many years, it would be best to change the water pump in your motor. It's not a hard job to fix the water pump but you should have a service manual to show you how to do it. Perhaps your local library will have a service manual for your motor. The manual has pictures and shows you step by step, how to change the pump. more

Tom Travis' 5.5hp website
Tom is very concerned about pressure tanks, but I don't see them as a problem as long as they're maintained in good condition. Check the hose for signs of cracks, and the tank shouldn't be allowed to go rusty.
Once the engine is running, pressure from the crankcase is fed into the tank, which in turn pushes fuel up into the carburetor. When you're done for the day you should release the pressure from the tank by cracking open the gas cap slightly.
Glad to be of assistance.
Well first you'll need some two stroke oil. Make sure it says on the container somewhere TC-W3. This is basically a rating of oil that says it meets minimum requirements.
Then you'll have to mix it with gas. There should be a chart on the back of the bottle that says ratios and amount of oil to be added. The ratio for your motor is 24:1.
