50:1 gas:oil mixture ?

Can you do that on a larger displacement 2-cycle engine like that,
or is a separate oil system needed ?

If you're burning oil on purpose, expect
a little "color" to your exhaust.

    "Two-stroke engines of this sort, with crankcase scavenging
     and lubricating oil provided during fuel intake, burn their
     lubricating oil by design and produce smoky tailpipe emissions."

    "The original engine was only 23 hp, but in 1969 a new
     version was offered with a 26 hp engine. [ Turbo??? :-) ]

Think of the pollution level!

With some VTEC stickers and a set of exhaust tips, you'd
have a car. You could leave the competition behind in
your oil smoke screen.
