Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): oil and gas ratio
QuestionI have an older model IDC 400-1 mini-tiller that wasn't used for a good while because it would not run. I had my son take it to a guy he knows to repair it and it runs okay now. I have used all of the fuel that the repairman left in the tank. I do not remember the correct oil to gas ratio so I can mix up more fuel and cannot find the tiller manual. I am thinking it was 32 to 1 but want to be absolutely sure. If you can tell me the proper oil to gas ratio I would surely appreciate it. Thanks
Answer32:1 may be an oil rich mic but the engine will run cooler. It may smoke a little more and could foul a spark plug every now and then but all 2 cycles are prone to fouling spark plugs.
Do you have any other equipment that uses fuel/oil mix?
