Any 2 cycle oil is good. Use a 40:1 mix to start with if it smokes then cut it back to 32:1 but its better to have more oil then not enough but start with 40:1

Depends on the type of oil you choose, there are several different oils 20:1, 40:1, 50:1, due to the age I would start with 20:1 oil, the worst that could happen is it would run with an oil rich mixture, be sure and use lead free gasoline if possible. all of the oils will work, but due to the mixture it affects the amount of gasoline going through the carburetor jet. More oil less gas, less oil more gas.
This small engine needs a 40:1 ratio. Use only 2 cycle oil, not motor oil. If you are mixing one gallon of fuel use 3.2 ounces of the 2 cycle oil. This should give correct mixture so you do not get lots of smoke when you start. Take the time to measure. Note: there should be a marking somewhere on the engine about the mixture.
RIDING MOWERS USE REGULAR GAS.. MIXTURES ARE USED FOR SMALL ENGINES FOUND ON STRING TRIMMERS OR BLOWERS.. GAS AND OIL MIXTURES ARE USED FOR 2 CYCLE ENGINES THAT ENABLES THEM TO BE MADE SMALLER AND LIGHTER... REGULAR GAS IS USED IN A 4 CYCLE ENGINE
??? Take a gallon gas can, pour the I/2 gallon oil/gas mixture into it and then add the correct amount of undiluted gasoline to the correct mixture. For instance, if you need a .2 oz/I/2 gal ratio then add 1/2 gal gas to what you already have. Remember, it is always better to have a little too much oil than gas.
hello, what you should do is drain out the gas from the tank into a clean container so you can add the oil to it and you should also check your spark plug make sure it's o.k. after draining out the gas try starting the blower a few times with out the spark plug wire connected to the spark plug this will flush out and of the pure gas from the fuel lines, after doing this re-connect the Spark plug wire and add your fuel/oil mixture and re-start, it might take a few times for it to start due to all the gas in the engine but it'll start also if your blower has a primer bulb you may want to prime it a few times after adding the fuel oil mixture to get it in the combustion chamber, if after doing this you still get nothing you'll want to re-place your spark plug it might be fouled out. good luck
