Someone correct me if I'm wrong.....but don't different Brands/Types of 2-Cycle "equipment" have different mix ratios(not all are a 40:1 ratio)???? Wouldn't a "generic" 40:1 pre mix be "dangerous" to use in a 2-cycle engine that the specs are 50:1, 30:1, etc??????

Well better to much oil than to little its easy enough to clean out exhaust

:smile: Were as I used to mix 30 to 1, using Lawnboy ashless oil, I know mix 50 to 1 using Stihl oil. My 2 cycle equipment is old. I know alot of guys that are into those 50cc and up scooters with 2 cycles and they all switched to pre-mix. To each his/her own, to do or not to do.
