50:1 like other stihl products....
From their website:
================================
2 Stroke Fuel Mixing
When using STIHL 2 stroke lubricant:
Mix at 50:1 (20mls oil per 1 litre fuel)
When using any other brand of air cooled 2 stroke:
Mix at 25:1 (40mls oil per 1 litre fuel)
================================
Manual here ==>

If in doubt go 25,I think its only the semi synthetic type oils can go 50:1 .for example the oil sold by echo for their saws is mixed 50:1 but its not the norm.

Had a lot of trouble with the chainsaws at work about 2 years ago. Needing tuning and carby kits every few weeks. Spoke to the Sthil agent and it was caused by the ULP we were getting here in the west. Sthil recomended we switch to PULP. Cost a few cents more but they have run sweetly ever since.
And 25:1 is the ratio unlees using the Sthil oil, then you can mix it 50:1

Totally agree with the PULP. Run it in Stilh chainsaw, whipper snipper. Also in four stroke mowers and 4hp/15hp/90hp Yamaha 2 stroke outboards. More power, less farting at idle, cleaner exhaust and more responsive for only a few extra cents is an oxymoron. if I could find 100 octane or better easily than that would be used.
If anyone is particuarly bored put a sample of PULP and a sample of ULP beside eachother; ones clear and one has a dirty blackish colour to it. I know which I'll be using.

They are suppose to be different colours to distinguish them.....yellow for PULP and purple/bronze for ULP. Colour has nothing to do with performance per se.

There is a huge safety margin in all of the recommended fuel/oil mix ratios.

Second hand, possibly stolen goods, for $220. No history, no previous owner to talk to.
A new saw is available with a two year warranty from a National Retailer for $200 (less on special) with an handbook.
Sounds like you got a bargain Undertaker.....ROFLMAO
