While my trusty and ever faithful 60's era XL 12 uses a 16:1 fuel/oil mix, I have no idea what is standard for this XL 2. Can you help me? Thanks in advance!

I love this site! Thanks for the recommendations and the link to the thread on mixtures. I'm off to get some synthetic oil, then I'll see if I can get this little saw to flash up.
