Pick up a quart of actual 2 stroke oil, that makes a difference too.
I use synthetic 2 stroke oil, but I have several 2 stroke engines. In addition to 2 weed whips, I've got to keep a chainsaw, a leafblower and 2 sleds running.
Another trick is to pre measure the oil and have it at the ready in their own little single serve containers, say for 1 gal batches at a time.
50:1 requires 2.56 oz. of oil per gal. of gas.
40:1 requires 3.2 oz. of oil per gal. of gas.
So you can see how easy it is to throw that ratio way, way off.

The precision is the religion for me!
