  two stroke on straght gas

I would run a tank or two of 32:1 through it just to be on the safe side and ensure all the internal components get re-oiled and thoroughly coated.

  two stroke on straght gas

Foul up some of the system?????? Such as?????? The point of running an excessively oil rich fuel through the engine is to recoat the internal bearings and ring grooves with a good coating of oil after being washed down with straight gas and striped of all lubrication. 2 strokes have run off of 32:1 for decades with little problems. My point was to run just enough to ensure the engine is now being properly lubricated and potentially minimize any damage that may have been done. Yes.....running an oil rich fuel mix such as 32:1 for an unnecessary amount of time and at low rpm can potentially clog exhaust ports but not for the short amount of time I suggested. I personally would not run ANY 2 stroke engine at 100:1 unless it was oil injected. Even then; that is right at the limits of little to near no lubrication. The EPA is not going to buy me a new trimmer so I use 40:1 in ALL of my 2 strokes; especially my Stihls which I have used with this mix for over 10 years. I am still on the original OEM plugs on my O-66, FS-450K, ST-400, and BG-85.
