You could hash this topic out for the next 6 years and nobody will come to an agreement of which ratio or which oil .

People might for example swear on a stack of Bibles that running saws or other 2 cycles on heavy oil mix effectively makes them run leaner .Forgetting of course it's the ratio of fuel to air not fuel to oil is what determines the ratio of weather lean or rich .If that were the case of heavy oil mix the old saws and boat motors would have been toast 40 years ago one should think .It's a total amazement some have lasted until this very day . ;)

FWIW I've taken apart saws that have not ran for 30-40 years .When they did it was on 16 to 1 using 30 WT mix oil . Almost no appriaciable wear .Nice shiny piston ,nothing wrong with them .---soooo there you go ---
