gas mix ?

[thgstang]

Just to make sure on the gas mix is it 1g of gas and 6oz of 2 cycle oil?


I was using 87 regular with 2cycle oil synthetic from home depot is this ok?

That's about a 20:1 ratio. If you want to run 25:1, you'll need 5.12 ounces.


Here's a site that might help.


Small engine oil ratios


You might also want to invest in a Ratio Rite cup, it takes the hassle out of oil/fuel mixing.

87-89 regular is fine.

I use 6 oz per gallon for break in.


and then 5 oz afterwards with great results.


There is no need to go with less oil. Not a noticeable increase in performance.


What is important is to do a good break in.

Ratio Rite is a good idea.


Mix the gas and oil very well before filling the tank.
