I can see going from 20:1 ratio down to a 25:1, but it is iffy if a 32:1 ratio would work Ok or not.

inexpensive!
- carburetor $50
- conrod + piston $60
- spark plug $13
- ignition unit $70
Yeah,, I think that if you were going to try out a lower oil to fuel ratio, then the parts of interest are the Cylinder, piston and ring, wrist pin keepers, rod and maybe the crankshaft.
The crank is included should the big end needle bearings gall the crankpin.
That is just in case you prematurely wear something out. Of course you may not need them if it is successful.
Cylinder piston set $30.00
Connecting Rod $30.00
crankshaft $33.00
and a gasket set $0.47
Of course one could just buy another new engine instead of repairing it.
