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?
Yes. If you get it wrong on the light side, you're going to lose an
engine. Wrong the other way you'll just use a bit more oil and
change plugs more often. Seems like an easy choice to me.
I agree.
IIRC the VRO systems (90s) varied the mix from 25- 100:1. Maybe it was
50-100:1. I use 50:1 in both of mine and they do get gummy if I do a lot of
trolling but it's worth the assurance that my mix isn't going to cause harm.
