Status: offline 		Just bought my first gasser, a ZDZ-40 that is already broken in. Anybody have any tips to offer on mixing gas and oil (I've NEVER had to do it before)? how to do it? oil/gas ratio? do you have to remix it up if it has been sitting for a while? If the ratio of gas/oil used is 50:1, is approximately 3oz. of oil correct for 1 gallon of gas? Looking for enlightenment....

Just fill it up with th correct amount of oil to the gas you are using and you are done! Just don't get gas in the syringe. The gas will eat it.

Status: offline 		Is there a chart somewhere that can help me determine ratios of different amounts? I'm probably just being lazy here, but math/calcuations/equations were always my weakest subjects. I have this feeling that I will have a tendency to add more oil than is necessary.
