Re: gas/oil mixture Force 50hp 1988
rbruce,
To make mixing 50:1 easier, go to Wally-World and buy you a 2-stroke mix measure bottle. It has all the ratio's printed on the bottle, ounces of oil to gallons of gas.
Be sure you have the correct amount of oil per gallon. Running too lean on oil will cause engine failure. Pay attention while doing this. I add a little more oil than calls for (helps protect older motors).
