Extra lube is not a good thing. It ends up as deposits.

Any deposits that *may* be formed from extra lubrication, is negated by the
benefits of some extra lube in an older 2 stroke. It's a cost/benefit type
thing, and the bennies win in this case.

Thoughts on oils and brands?

I agree with Clams on this - for that engine, I would use Wal Mart's
TCW3 clone 2-cycle oil - more than good enough. Semi and full
synthetics will work too, but the engine wasn't designed for those
oils.

The only caveat I would offer would be to make the blend a little
richer - like 40:1 instead of 50:1 and maybe go with a little hotter
plug. It will smoke a little more, but at that age and without a
rebuild, the extra lube can't hurt.
