Bob Lemnings asked:

Can you tell me the mix ratio when using 2-cycle oil in the fuel rather than the oil
injection unit?

Paul Lamar replied:

One oz per gallon. You can use as much as four ounces per gallon with no apparent
harm.

Wasn't it Tracy who discovered that excess two-stroke in the fuel led to *increasing* amounts of oil in the crankcase?  I'd keep an eye on
the crankcase oil level; if it starts to rise, cut back on the two-stroke mixture ratio.

Yes its true. Tracy at first thought the engine was making oil rather than consuming it :)
