    Cav90,
    This was the first fall I sent my auger to Strikemaster for a tune-up. I’ve had it since 1997 and figured it was due.
    They told me a to mix the gas:oil at 50:1 although everything says 24:1 including their bottle of oil. (5.33oz)So I used half the bottle of oil to one gallon of gas.
    Ran great all winter with less smoke than before.
    I would start at 24:1 if it was new but if its already broke in I would go 50:1.
    I think you’d be O.K. with anywhere from 2.5 to 5 oz. of oil per gallon of gas.
    Don’t forget the Sta-bil.

    I have the strikemaster magnum 3000 ,it takes 24:1 ratio
    thats 5 oz.oil to 1 gal of gas.If the auger is plenty broke in you can run it alittle leaner,not richer…

    Thanks for all the advice on the fuel mix. I ended up mixing the gas/oil at 32 to 1 (added a little extra oil for luck) . It seems to be running fine, with not a lot of smoke.
