I know that the ancient engines recommended using a quart of 30 weight

think that's OK, but I'm not sure about the designs of the 70's.

My brother is an Amzoil dealer and he things it's the greatest thing
since malted milk, and I like synthetic 2 cycle oil, but I'm wondering
about the recommended mix ratio. personally I think 100:1 is a bit
thin.

Anyone have any thoughts?


Yeah...use a half a pint of the old-fashioned oil to a gallon of gas,
just like we used to do. It worked just fine, smelled great, and left a
trail of smoke you could follow to get home.
