Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

i have a TMC backpack leaf blower that has a little kawasaki 2 stroke engine. This unit is probably from the 80,s and calls for a 25:1 mix. can i just mix it 40:1 and use it in this unit? Seems like every 2 stroke i,ve ever had uses 40:1 or 50:1.  i am using yamalube semi synthetic oil.

I,ve already broke the tank, so i,m looking around for another tank that i can mount on it that,ll work. so like i said i,m using yamalube semi synthetic oil, which is really good oil, that should be ok to mix 40:1 for this blower right?  I use this blower on a gold mining machine (a drywasher) and it runs at about 1/2 trottle a hour or so at a time
