yeah its all I used but sadly at a 50:1 mix for the mower
(as stated..but seem thats a big can of worms frown )

since I started this thread thought I tired a 25:1 shell mix on 95
(seems our local uses ethanol in the 91 unleaded)
but it is still not well at all, so rings and hone it seems is the go (and if successful it will only get 25:1 mixtures)

I guess I just panic a bit cause of the boo boo I made and whack 25:1 in the trimmer (bad mistake)
(which was why I was using 50:1 in the first place, years ago)

So if doubling it up does no harm (200 mls per 5 Litres)
(just defeats some of the purpose, price)
I'll use it that way... with 95 if I cant get 91 no ethanol

yeah its a bit of a mine field oils and petrols at the moment
with additives etc

I had read something on that on outboard motors & 2t oil
but well no idea really on why..just wasn't a good idea
(seem thought the mix is 50:1 for outboards (or some) and if thinner again thats probably why dead engines...or badly stuffed ones I guess
I read something on some use an injection method for the oil so maybe thats why it needs to be thinner (or some are)..I dont know really just guessing))

I think too you got to take advertising with a little salt and see what you can find out as it seems some mention there wonderful 2 stroke use it everywhere
but as normie would sing "it Aint necessarily so!"


Anyway Blumbly thanks for the feedback on it..much appreciated

I want to do a bit of looking into it
on mineral and synthetics oils the pros and cons
long chains short chains ...sounds like fun but I am curious

from a few I read else where
it can get very opinionated

but I had to ask the question to know..how can you learn but from other experience & knowledge

Cheers mate smile
