Tanaka Head Oil/Gas Ratio
« on: Dec 07, 2010, 08:56 PM »
Hey just wondering what you guys who run a Tanaka are mixing your oil at.
The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.

I was reading the specs and it said to only use between 25:1 TO 50:1. I am not a mechanic.

Opti-2, which when mixing the pack with 1 gallon of gas makes it 70:1. It purrs like a kitten.

Would you run a 80:1 ratio on a Strikemaster/Jiffy?
