I find the easiest way to measure oil for two stroke engines is to use a
large veteranary type syringe. The are graduated in oz and cc's. They only
cost a couple of bucks, you just have to fill out a form saying what they
are to be used for(not shooting up 60cc's of smack), as a side note, I
always use a 100/1 synthetic oil and it really cuts down on smoke and plug
fouling. I've used it in engines as old as a 1959 9.9 outboard and chain
saws to motorcycles,never a problem at 100/1.

I have no quarrel with those who work cheaper than I do, I figure they know
what they are worth.
