Hi, Roy.

That's what I ended up doing for the old string trimmer - - got a quart
and mixed my own, at about 32:1.  It smoked a good bit.

Last week at Home Depot, over by the chainsaws, string trimmers, leaf
blowers and etc.,  was that expensive 50:1 oil. (see my response to
Robert S).

Come to think of it,  I think I smell the government.  I'll bet the EPA
made the industry cut down on the amount of oil required in mix for
2-cycle engines,  to cut down on air pollution.  I recall our
Federal Gummint were on the warpath awhile back over lawn mowers
and etc. - for safety provisions and for all the "air pollution" they
cause, even the 4-cycle ones.
