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

    You can find more information here

    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 ?

    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.
