There has been a swing towards using weeker mixes to suit the PC crowd and lower the emissions. here
Strongly recommend changing the gearbox oil as this often gets neglected ,only costs about £5 from halfords for enough to do it several times.(Usually ep90 or EP 80 )
The current recomendation is 100:1 which reduces emissions. [links]
note: Tohatsu 4-Stroke Outboards DO NOT come with engine oil already installed. You must add engine oil before attempting to start your 4-stroke outboard for the first time. Failure to do so will result in extensive damage to your outboard. here
note: This outboard is equipped with an Engine Oil Warning Lamp. When the warning lamp is off, it indicates that sufficient oil pressure is present. If the warning lamp is on (red light is on) or blinking on and off, immediately shut down your outboard and check the oil level. Replenish as needed. If oil level is at the appropriate levels, consult your Tohatsu dealer for assistance. Never run your outboard if the warning lamp is on or blinking on/off. [links]

As a result of running your outboard with a double-oil mixture, it is normal for your engine to emit more exhaust smoke than normal. You may also notice oil coming from the around the prop and/or from the exhaust relief port hole (located near the top of the lower unit) during this period. This is completely normal and you should see this excess oil eliminated once you finish your break-in period and resume the normal 50:1 oil/fuel mixture.
The following charts show the standard "break-in" periods for Tohatsu Outboards:
No problems so far except when the carb clogged up and I had to pay to get it cleaned. Now I know how. more
There’s an old 8Hp 667 near me and a really old 6hp. See pics. Although they run are these likely to be more of a liability than a long term reliable investment?
Goes like shit of a shovel, I am unsure the labelling is accurate!
I don't know how you stop your outboard . but if you stop it by the 'button' and then leave it for days . the petrol content in carb can evaporate off and you get left with 2T oil and gum. Makes starting extremely difficult. more
