West marine sells premix containers with gas to oil ratio u need at fuel up, get two loaded with oil and add as u gas up. good time to add all the other crap we put in our fuel too. lucas has good 2 stroke oil but the motor u have is probably the one I would use.

Wal-mart sells a pre-mix bottle. It's just an empty transparent bottle with different pre-mix ratios printed on the side. So if you're mixing 50:1 yuo fill the bottle with how much oil you would add, (based on the chart on the side of the bottle) to however many gallons of gas you are going to put in. Safe, dependable, no guessing, correct formulation each and every time. Bottle costs less than $10. I have two (in case I lose one) that I use for my smaller (9.9 hp and smaller) engines that I use on lakes and rivers. Cheap investment, and well worth the money for the amount of guessing and worry that it saves you.

My favorite part of mixing gas and oil is when you put in enough oil for 12 gallons but theres only enough room to get 8 gallons in.

That's called bug spray. Mosquitos hate 2 stroke smoke. Of course people don't either, but I think I would rather deal with smoke than the bugs.

Or people! Lol

I always add my oil after the gas.... Fill nearly full... Mix correct amount of oil with about a quart of gas and dump it in.... So far in 30 years or so I've not had a problem doing it that way.

Husband and wife that live next (and downwind) to us used to go out enduro riding all the time. She grew up riding 2 strokes. First time I started my engine on the muffs in my backyard she came over and thanked me. Said she loves the smell of 2 stroke oil and since they started having kids hasn't had time for a lot of riding, so the smell was like the smell of fresh baked bread to her... simply wonderful.

Sometimes you just luck out with your neighbors.......
