Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Craftsman 10 mini tiller, MNo 536.797500, synthetic motor oil, two stroke engines

Question
What is the gas/oil mixture ratio for this tiller?

Answer
Hello Shawn:

All Two Stroke Engines will use a 50:1 Ratio using Today's Two Stroke Oils.  I once used an Old Chainsaw probably from the 1960s, that had a sticker on it that said to use a 25:1 Fuel/Oil Ratio, but that would have been using Two Stroke Oils of the Time Period the Chainsaw was Manufactured.  In that Chainsaw I used 50:1 Ratio with no problems.  Today's Two Stroke Oils compared to Yesteryears are more Efficient at Lubricating.  It is like comparing Today's Synthetic Motor Oil to Motor Oils of Decades ago.  All the Equipment I use in Landscaping, anything from a Weed Eater, Leaf Blower, Chainsaw, Hedge Trimmer, use 32:1 through 50:1 ratio, and I use all types of makes and models, Stihl, Homelite, Husqvarna, Shindaiwa, and Echo, Sears.  I mix up a 5 Gallon Fuel can and use it in all of the Equipment for my Customers and for my Landscaping. I like my Fuel/Oil Ratio a Little Heavy, so I use a 40:1 Ratio. The Suggested Oil Ratio is 32:1 for this Engine.
