Proper gas for small engines!

There's some good info! Makes alot of sense the way they explained it. Thanks for the lesson LW!

So basically, with todays synthetics we can easily take an old engine that requires a 24:1 ratio and run a 50:1 in that engine with the proper lubrication?

Yes you could run 50:1, 75:1 or 100:1 in an older engine that originally required 25:1 as long as the oil states it can be ran at those ratios.. It should rev higher, have less smoke and less oil coming from the muffler.

Thanks Lonewolf!!! Last year I run AMS Oil at 50:1 and noticed the revs increase and less smoke. I was afraid of not enough lube, as you now the saying" it runs the best just before she blows".

I have run Opti2 at 100:1 in my 20 year old Tanaka engine for at least 15 years. It revs between 7 & 8000 rpm. The manual calls for a 25:1 blend. Like Lonewolf says, current technology provides the required lubrication at a far leaner ratio.
