He's not running a conventional 2 stroke oil though, so don't mix 100:1 on regular 2 stroke oil. AMSOIL makes there saber oil that they say you can run a t100:1 in 50:1 engines without damage, but many have blown there engines running it this way and is why I never tried it.

No need to be confused, I am indeed running Amsoil Saber Outboard premix at 100:1 and have had no problems. I also only run pure gas at 90 octane, and do not put any ethanol blend in any of my motors. Here is how good Amsoil is in my experience; I ran my 2003 Ski-Doo snowmobile, 700cc mototor, about 135HP, clean out of oil and was running about 80MPH across a hayfield in northern MI, turning about 7800rpm on the tach. (The out of oil part is a much longer however embarrassing story). The motor seized at 80MPH as I was thrown into the handlebars and came to a dead stop; the motor locked up tight. I had Amsoil Interceptor 2-stroke oil in the motor. After about 10 mins the motor came lose and I drug the sled home, tail between my legs. At home tearing down the motor, I all had to replace was the mag side piston rings and hone that cylinder. NO scuff on the cylinder wall or piston, and the PTO cylinder was just fine. Amsoil as a lubricant is just that good, and is arguably the best synthetic on the market, not to mention they have been doing it the longest. They also have a tremendous engineering department that welcomes challenges to the quality of their product in addition to claims of failures and burn downs. I think the claim that that has been many burn downs using Saber outboard at 100:1 is false. Lots of folks run it up here.

I have had my Doo 1000 do the same thing---brought it home--new rings and pistons(for saftey) and put her together and got another season before selling the sled-----But I was running ----Redline full synthetic race oil. Any quality oil will do the job---in 40 years--I have seen very few oil related faliures from the lubricant.
