im just after picking up a Johnson 5.0hp and I cant find a thing about it.

Mod No.BJ5DRLERE
Sn No.B09033014

Belgium

Would anyone have any ideas about this ?

The ER towards the end of the model number means its a 1994 one.

I think the mix on these is 100:1 but you should be able to find out for sure at the link above. i am 90% sure its 100:1

I think this is what your engine is

B- like you say Belgium

j- johnson

5- hp

D- remote electric

R- rope start

L- 20" shaft

E - 9

R- 4 making it a 94 and I would run it at 50-1 mix.

E- is the model number handy if you are ordering parts.
Hope this helps best of luck with her.

Thanks Tin i tried that site but I couldn't find a thing about it with either the Sn No.or the Mod No.

Sorry I had a better look over the site and found this :http://www.marineengine.com/parts/model_guide_post80.html

Fergal looks like you got it on the button again.

So would a 100:1 mix be ok ?

If it has not been run in a while you could start it up with 100-1 just to get everything lubed up but for day to day running I would go with 50-1.
I think in the late 80's they did have stickers on them saying mix 100-1 but after a while they went back to 50-1.

Well it had a full service in may of last year and wasn't used since then so would the 50:1 mix be ok ?

Yep you will be fine.

You could try readmanuals.com and pick up a cheap manual PDF for it. Should give you all the information you need.

Other than that email the manufacturers with the model and ask their opinion on the ratio.
