The engine is brand new (less than 2 gals fuel thru it). Oil ratio is 32 to 1 using Briggs and Stratton ashless right now. Will be moving tp Amsoil 100 at 80/85 to 1 after I finish the 2nd gallon.
Thank you very much for purchasing the engine from us but I would like to ask you not to go to 80/85 to 1 on your oil mixture. 40 to 1 or maybe 50 to 1 is the most I would go. Oil doesn't cost much and your engine will last much longer if you stay at 40 to 1. I think Bob will agree with me that anything over 50 to 1 you are asking for trouble with any engine.
