I have always mixed 32 to 1 for air cooled, and 50 to 1 for water cooled, which is the two stroke outboard motors. And I use the same oil.
Some of the more modern oils claim you use use less oil, but I do not trust them.
They will not buy me a new chainsaw if I have a problem.
My two stroke motorcycle has an oil injector pump which works fine.
I think it is Lucas oil I am using. Same stuff for the outboard motor, bike, chainsaw and weed whacker.

Used to be the folks that used OMC oil in the small outboard motors, would have them last a very long time. 20 years or more. The folks that used cheaper oil, would have problems much sooner. The OMC oil was made by Castrol, and had rust inhibitors in it. That seemed to be the difference. Motors with the cheaper oil, were getting rust during the winter months. Some would seize.
