Mercury clamshell cowel removal and oil ratio...
Hi,

I've just got the SR4 and haven't a clue how to get the cowel off the engine, any ideas?
Also what should the fuel to oil ratio be?

Thanks

Phill

I've worked out how to get the cowel off.

Anyone know the oil ratio?

I'd go for 50:1

Was thinking 50:1 but wasn't 100% sure.
Thanks for the help lads!
