Just tip it out and refill with your 25-1, wouldn't worry about the bit in the carb and pipe it wont harm the engine

I was under the impression that you only need to run 25:1 if you are using shite two stroke, using a hi spec oil such as Stihl you only need to be 50:1

Id agree dean, I can remember the old danarms used to be 16-1, as you say the oil wasn't as good quality as it is today.

No wonder we don't have smog problems in London any more, it will have been that David Humphries and his tree teams revving the nits off their old saws running 16:1

 

They,d have cleared out all the midges from the woodland too

Don't worry . If you have good quality synth or semi synth 2 stroke oil it will benefit from 50;1

I was using stihl hp, but the plug gunked up. The choke leaver was exposed and I thing whilst my guy was using it, it got caught on branches/briar so maybe flooded. The air filter was foam. It was a really crap machine on hire. Took it back and will be using an fs410 next week. Think the brand was gardecare. Looked a bit chinesey. Didn't even bother putting any more fuel in, in the end.

Gardencare is one of the better chinese products, but is, at around £230 for a 40cc machine, only of domestic quality. ( If I hired out machines I would certainly not use cheap machines such as this)

 

It will quite happily run @ 50:1 on stihl oil. I am not surprised though, that the plug oiled up at 25;1.
