^^think Crosbyman and Racerone are on it.

50:1 for premixers or premix for VRO testing.

Motor should be run on 50:1 , so if it has been run on 100:1 all bets are off.

After checking again there is a second switch on the motor that operates the starting. But after chatting with you guys made me look alot closer. Thanks

You really need at least a parts manual for that motor -- enables you to identify parts. "second switch on the motor that operates the starting" is not coherent imo.
