Hello Everyone,
I am a proud new owner of a 1981 El Tigre 6000, this sled was my dad's and he bought it brand new. I just picked it up this weekend and I want to make sure I do things right. I drained out the old gas and wanted to put in some fresh gas and start it up before the snow starts here in Michigan. I was reading in the owner's manual and it said to run 20:1 Oil to Fuel mixture. I just wanted to make sure that is the correct mixture with today's gasoline and 2 cycle oil. I also wondered what everyone's thoughts were on the best oil to run int this. I know everyone has "The Oil" but since I haven't had to mix oil in quite some time I want to do the best I can for this vintage. It seemed a bit rich to me, but I figured I would check it with the pros here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
