I fill up a 2 gal gas can in the spring, and mix 2-cycle oil at 25:1 It's a little smokey, but better a little too much than a little too little. The chain saw and weed wacker want 50:1, but they seem to do fine on 25:1. I'd rather buy a new weedwacker than rebuild my Hummer engine. Dave ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- What oil do you run in your gas and what is the mix? Any brand 2-cycle oil or SAE 40 motor oi. The cup in the gas cap holds about 2 3/4 ounces when full. Use two capfuls (5 1/2 ounces) per one gallon. |
