Hi aAll,
What premix ratio would you guys recommend for a TS250/1
At the moment i run 50 to 1 which seems to work ok,However could i be causing unseen damage?

Yes rednexx1
50to1 is the correct oil mix for a TS250/1,
if you are worried try 40to1 won't do any harm, or use semi-synthetic or even full-synthetic.

You should stick to the 50:1 ratio as anything less will decrease the amount of petrol in the mix, weakening the mixture and possibly overheating the engine. I ran many 10s of thousands of miles on a TS250 and had no reliability issues except when I leaned off the mixture too much and it seized.
