            A quart of oil to your six gallon gas tank . . . 🙂

                    I believe the spec on the older QDs is 24 to 1. I use 20 to 1 in mine. Convenient to drop a quart of oil in a 5 gallon can for 20 to 1 and a bit more oil in those can’t hurt. When I put an old QD on my grandson’s hydroplane, I double the oil, using 10 to 1 because of the higher RPMs
