Didn't really know where abouts to ask this question, thought the pub was a broad enough forum to chuck it in.
So we have this medieval lawn mower, dates back before Jesus was born and it still runs fine so there's no point getting rid of it any time soon. The thing runs on a 50:1 mix if unleaded to 2 stroke oil.
We recently bought a new 2 stroke whipper snipper which says it is meant to run on 40:1.
Is the difference between 50:1 and 40:1 really that much? is it worth mixing 2 separate batches (we have a jerry can filled with 50:1 at all times) or will the whipper snipper survive healthily off 50:1?
Cheers guys
