Mixing gas and oil for power augers?

[esox_magnum]

You can get a gas pump to shut off at .8 gallon? Dang your good.
I was at the gas station the other day getting a gallon of non eth. premium for my chainsaws and the pump went to $1.25 before any gas even came out of the hose. I get my gas in a 5 gallon can then I have a one gallon glass wine jug I use that I marked off a exact gallon with a black marker pen. I use that to measure a gallon of gas before I put it into the  1-1/2 gallon mixing can. Plus with the glass one gallon jug I can see if any water or crap is in the gas. You wouldn't believe how much water there is in gas sometimes. I mean not a real lot but you are kidding yourself if you think you never get any water in your gas. I also use a "MR Funnel" to make sure no water goes in the mixing can.
Yea I am anal about it but I have over $2,000 worth of 2 cycle chainsaw's, leaf blower, weed trimmer, and auger,

 Pretty easy when the money side adds up about 3x's fater than the gallons...

If you have a Tecumseh TC or TM engine read page 12. It says 24: to 1 for the TC / TM models.

I ran mine 80:1 also, they ran great and still do....

Amsoil Saber about 80-1, my Strikemaster has never ran so good.

I would agree for my Strikemaster. I had nothing but issues with the carb acting up and rough starting and running and alot of smoke since day one. I cleaned the whole carb and started running 80:1 Amsoil and have never looked back.
Smooth running, virtually smoke free and no fouling issues, etc.
This oil saved me from dropping my gas and switching. However, I am glad I did not because I really like the SM auger I own!
I am just a consumer not horse in the race, just very satisfied.

Check out the first thread on this page.  It is quite informative.

Amsoil Saber @ 100:1 for years in all my 2 cycle equipment from outboards to chainsaws. Minimal smoke if any, have yet to burn anything down from lack of lubricant in the fuel. I used to go by manufacturers recommended mix until I worked at a small engine shop back in the day.

Let me be presumptuous and thank you for the acknowledgement.     

But, only a small part of that 1st page, as a few auger owners will remain in the age of dinosaurs for years to come.         

JonPerry knows the truth, too.

Been using Opti 11 or amsoil sabre pro in my Jiffy 30 for 13 years and my Nils for its 7th at 80-1 or 100-1 . Both run perfect and will never go back to dino mix . The thing many fail to recognize when they see the rich manufacturer suggested dino mixture is that Amsoil not only is a synthetic but is a concentrated form of mix .

I use this from walmart for mixing 2 stroke fuels.  it is a clear glass cup with bright red markers on it.
