Fuel Mixture
The fuel: oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil or
50:1.
Note:
Never use a mixing ratio less than
50:1 regardless of the oil package
mixing instructions. Ratios less than
50:1, (for example, 60:1, 80:1, 100:1),
reduce the amount of lubrication to
the internal moving parts of the
engine and can cause damage.
