I recently hauled a '71 SkiDoo Olympique 300 out of a barn--it hadn't been run for years, last licensed in 1972--original paint still on the bottom of the runners! I rebuilt the carb, cleaned the tank and it runs great. Manual calls for a fuel mix of 20:1 which makes it smoke something fierce. With modern 2 cycle oils I was wondering if I can get by with a less rich mixture, not damage the engine, and leave less of a smokescreen. Thanks
