    Quick confirm: oil mix

    I'm not disputing what you're saying. About the Lawnboy mower however; I too have one ('90s) and run it 32:1 and have lots of compression left. I think it's just because they're really good motors and not your average $150 "crappy tire special"

    overheating - looking for a cause

    You may of (inadvertently) not insert the pick-up tube into the water pump housing? Just drop the LU slightly and see if the tube is lined up with the pump Does it have a tell-tail?

    Quick confirm: oil mix

    50:1 is the mix ratio When you finish the jug synblend just switch to TC-W3 oil from wallymart or pick one (lol); There are roughly 600 blends certified by NMMA as TCW3 compliant.
