premix ratio
Polar-Bus:
FYI, injected PWC's run about a 100:1 ratio :-o ! Think about it there is no dirt out on the water, and PWC's see fairly consistant lighter engine loads.

I agree whole thoroughly 32:1 & safe, besides plugs are alot cheaper than motor builds

What keeps getting overlooked is that different oils have different concentrates. This results in a differant mix ratio. The more you have to add, the thinner the premix.

and I guess I should have added to my post, something that an earlier one did, 50:1 should be fine using a quality oil, not something you've picked up at Tractor Supply or whatever for $1.99 a bottle. If in doubt just go along with what the oil manufacture recommends. Really though, about any brand name oil, Maxima, Bel Ray, Golden Spectro should be fine at 50:1 in a 500.
