I agree with everyone else above and in no way recommend cheating the gas oil mix on the dry side. I will, if anything, lean the other direction and mix mine on the sweet side. I usually run my 50:1 motors on 40:1 unless they have some plane bearings in them, then they get 32:1. My 24:1 motors often get 16:1 right along with the 16:1 motors. I run a semi synthetic blend TCW3 oil that claims to have low toxicity and it smokes very little even at 16:1 once the engine is at operating temperature. I’m not saying I’m right but this is how I run my motors and it works for me. More oil in the mix can’t do anything but extend the service life of the engine. The only oil these 2 strokes get is what collects on the parts as the mixture passes through the crankcase. Too many motors have been destroyed by not using enough oil in the fuel mix.
