Mixing Fuel
CAUTION!
Some types of gasoline contain alco-
hol as an oxygenate. Oxygenated
gasoline may cause increased oper-
ating temperatures. Under certain
conditions, alcohol-based gasoline
may also reduce the lubricating
qualities of some 2-cycle mixing
oils. Never use any type of gasoline
containing more than 10% alcohol
by volume! Generic oils and some
outboard oils may not be intended
for use in high-performance engines,
and should never be used in your
Shindaiwa engine.

This engine is designed to operate
on a 50:1 mixture consisting of
unleaded gasoline and ISO-L-EGD
or JASO FC class 2-cycle mixing oil
only. Use of non-approved mixing
oils can lead to excessive carbon
deposits.

the carburetor, fuel lines, fuel tank
and/or fuel tank cap are damaged.
