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.

Yep. I think that 100:1 is a bit extreme unless you're gambling with a
$79.00 weed eater. I'm trying to figure out the 'just right' mixture.

50:1

I mix 40:1 for every 2-stroke tool I own. The 50:1's won't complain.
