Default RE: Connecting rod Bushing

Maybe after I get this final mod done I can have peace of mind knowing that it won't seize up and quit due to the wrong gas/oil ratio. I was thinking about using that gas that is already premixed. It comes in 50:1 and 40:1 in 1 quart containers.

I was at the saw shop the other day talking to the repair man and he told me that all these additives they are putting in the gas is reaping havoc on these small engines, especially the carbs. He suggested that I use the premix stuff and run the fuel lines dry before putting the plane up for the day.
