It's amazing what different oils are on the market now, but back in the 70's when I worked the servo, I always had to mix the 2 stroke by hand, it was a 3rd of a pint engine oil to a gallon of standard petrol, which gives you 24 to 1 mix.
2 stroke bikes the same, had a guy come in twice a week on a Kwaka 500cc triple, forget tank capacity, but he would get 2 gallons, I would pour the oil in first, 2 3rds of a pint, 2 gallons standard petrol, I said the H1 has oil injection doesn't it?....he said I disabled it?...
I checked the chart and it said it runs 32 to1, I always thought he was a bit screwy, but that's what he wanted, we used to grab a handlebar each and shake the sh.t out of the bike to mix it in the tank?..


Cheers Billy
