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. |
