50:1 is correct, BP. If you don't like the smoke try going to a synthetic oil.

If you are using pre mix, that might help explain your tach problems on your other posts, since the oil injection system has been disconnected or removed I would only assume somebody has changed around a bunch of wires..

found out it has a 14 pin connector and yes it might have something to do with it.thanks----its just that premix iam sure of it when its done ---hate the one that does itself because the gear gets stripped out and theres goes an high price repair that could have been avoided---but theres pros and cons on everything.thanks
