Thanks for the input guys. I recently got rid of a PE175 that required premix, and the manual called for 20:1; it killed mosquitoes for miles. I tried 32:1 and then 40:1 before it was tolerable. I still have a full jerry can of 40:1, so I figured I'd try it.

If you guys think that 32:1 would be safer, I'll dump some more oil in.

BTW, the worm gear that drives the pump seems to have a seal, but we'll check more closely before we fire it up.
