50:1 unless you wanna blow up your motor.<br /><br />lots of maufactureres did that in the mid 80's, rate motors at 100:1. they did that to appease the EPA and say that their motors had lower emissions.<br /><br />50:1 and youll be good to go

Yes, Johnson recinded the 100:1 ratio recommendation in about 1987 or 1988.
