I see your in Meriden, if your able to bring it to Suburban Marine in Meriden...they should be able to help you out no problem. I get all my work done on my Johnson Motor and mine is a 93. They specialize in them and they are an authorized dealer. Most likely (please don't quote me on this because all engines are different) its a 50:1 mix of oil to gas. That's what I have. I wouldnt mess with it too much without an owners manual or bringing it to the shop. If you look at the base of it, you should be able to see a serial number which can help.

If you have trouble identifying the motor, post the serial and model # here and maybe someone can help.
