The 1988 model, 28hp Johnson outboard, requires a 50:1 fuel to oil ratio. This is roughly, one pint of 2 cycle oil, to six gallons of fuel. If you have the same motor I have which is a 1988 Johnson 28 hp 2 stroke then the mixture is 100:1. The answer provided above is wrong. This is 8 ounces of 2 stroke oil to 6 gallons of gas. I have had this motor since it was new and it still runs great today.
