Hi.
information.
I use know Aspen 4 cycles (alkylate) fuel with god results.
In comparison with Coleman practically no smell.
I don't know if this type of fuel existe in US.

Not enough oil. Use marvel mystery oil or 2 cycle oil at 2 oz per quart or 8 oz per gallon. This is 15 to 1.

Hi Ike, I like the 15 to 1 mix the best. 32 to 1 or 50 to 1 is ok with iron rings but probaly not so great with the rubber O-ring in our little gas engines.


In response to your youtube inquiry, 


Is your timing wheel with the magnet as close as possible to the pick-up without rubbing it?
and
By chance, has the magnet fallen out of the aluminum wheel?
