Try 50:1 (recommended by stihl)

I run my Stihl hedge trimmer on 25:1, a little more smoke but more oil. Doesn�t foul the plug either.

Thanks guys.. been running it on 25 - 1... thought it was a bit smokey .. For some reason the exhaust discharges toward the fins ..?, and after a short time covers them with oil..
Will try the 50-1 and see how it goes.
