What year?

I know the OMC motors from the 80s were labeled 100:1 and OMC had to recall that and recommend 50:1, but I'm not sure about Yammies.

I am sure 50:1 will work just fine on that "1 Lunger". Most chain saws, weed trimmers and the like are about the same thing and most of them run fine on 50:1.
