Cheers

50 to 1!!!

i used 20-1 in my strimmer and its still goin

thats ment to be petrol:oil. Damn those smilies!

20 to 1 seems more popular:

apparently depends on the quality of the oil.

That's for my chainsaw. It also has this measurement on the machine mart bottle I use for mixing, very handy. Smells great as well.

Depends on your choice of oil, modern stuff is usualy 50:1

cheers chaps,

you bastards reply too quickly, it means i now have no excuse for not getting on with it!

i shall go for 25-1,

thanks again.

25 to will be tend to oil foul the plugs 50:1 is more usual these days.

It'll only have one plug.
This is a chainsaw but it works the same. It's only months old so it qualifies as nowadays I think.
