Hey guys just got me a DLE 20, I have found 2 different gas/oil ratio. I was wandering which is correct. I read 30:1 in one manual then another one said 32:1. So which ratio to use for break in, and which to use after break in?
What oil to use for break in? Do gassers benfit from a slightly rich break in?

Aloha,
Les

I use 32:1 for all my gas engines during and after breakend. You do not run gas engines rich. As for oil I use Penzoil air cooled

Your engine will not know the difference between 32:1 and 30:1, let alone unless lab quality mixing equipment is used, very few of us could mix an exact 30:1 ratio anyway!

The oil film left on the sides of the measuring cup after pouring in the gas skews your measured ratio. I wish people paid as much attention to servicing the oil in thier cars as they do a model engine.
