dead generator

i've borrowed a friends generator for work tomorrow, but its dead. I have two problems, one is that i need to clean the spark plug, and the other is that it runs on two stroke.

Would it be best to clean the plug in petrol?

And is there any oil i can mix in other than two stroke as i dont have any, but i have a vast selection of other oils.

Cheers! Will check back in after ive taken it apart!

2 stroke oil is available at every petrol station going.

wire brush is the best thing for cleaning spark plugs

Proberbly wants 50:1 mix.
- As said, a lot of garages have it, or garden/mower places for strimmers and hedge trimmers etc.
