He did say that he needs 48 ounces of two cycle oil per eleven gallons
of fuel or the engine wears rapidly. He also feels that a capacitor
discharge ignition system is essential to keep the plugs
from fouling at this oiling level. This is just a guess as he has never
run the engine on anything other than a MSD multi spark CDI system.
One system per spark plug.

48 ounces oil per 11 gallons fuel is a 1:29 ratio. Correct?. That is roughly
10 times the ratio that I use. Yvon.

That is 4.36 ounces per gallon. Since there is 128 fluid ounces in a gallon
that would be a ratio of 29.35:1 fuel to oil. Most of us are using
one fourth that amount or one ounce per gallon 1:128. Anything less than this
and you are asking for high wear rates IMHO. One the other hand we
are not asking for 300 HP per rotor either.
