200ml-5L gas.
Run it for 10 mins nice and easy then let it cool down for 15 mins.
repeat till tanks empty.
refill and start using full throttle.

RE: Need Help with oil and gas mixture
I'll be the first to say American units are a pain. 1 gallon = 128 ounces.
Assuming I'm doing this correctly:
20:1 = (20/1) = (128/x) x = 6.40 ounces added per gallon of gas
25:1 = (25/1) = (128/x) x = 5.12 ounces added per gallon of gas
30:1 = (30/1) = (128/x) x = 4.27 ounces added per gallon of gas
40:1 = (40/1) = (128/x) x = 3.20 ounces added per gallon of gas
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's the deal

For running in use 25:1....I did this for 2 tanks then went to 35:1
50:1 is too lean....I think 35:1 to 40:1 is best.
I just start with 100ml of oil in my container then decide on my ratio and add that amount in fuel ...eg 35:1 add 3500ml.

50:1 is fine,
In the US we can buy a ratio cup, usually made by ratio rite( check with motocross guys) then you just fill to the oil line for the amount of fuel you have. usually they have 25:1, 40:1 and 50:1 on the same container.
