Hi Jezmo
The oil content has me scratching my head a little bit also, my brain is about fried tonight . I did however pull off the bqck plate and have a look inside there was approx 1/2 teaspoon of oil or more just laying around in there. I will follow that advice and richen it up to 16-1
Oil is cheap as compaired to engines, besides its only another .8 ozs of oil per 1/2 gallon of gas useing that type of oil.
As well as the little engine runs and preforms I sure would hate to mess it up due to running it low on oil.
Thank you for your input.
Richard.
