40:1 ???

Doesn't say anywhere on it and not got a manual.

Cheers,

The 2 stroke garden machinery oil I use is definitely 40:1. Can't recall the make but it's the stock item in B&Q et al.

My chainsaw is 25:1

IIRC putting too much oil in can cause the engine to run weak and overheat. What make is it?

A JCB M25.

Don't think I can go wrong with 50:1 then.
