it sounds like there might be something wrong with the first one...
100 mls of semi synthetic oil to 5lts fuel for 50 to 1, or the old fashion way of 200 mls of mineral oil to 1 gallon.
I always come back to an Echo

or 200mls of 2 stroke oil to 5 liters of fuel.
Don't use the 2 stroke outboard engine oil as it won't like it.
Being a 2 stroke mower it would run at 25:1 mix.
As squizzy said there could be something wrong with the first one.
Here for a good time,not a long time.

At 30:1 could be a bit dry,just be careful after all the oil is there to lubricate all the moving parts inside the engine.And they do get hot.
