2 stroke mix oil functions best when its flashpoint is paired with operating temperature of the machine its being used in. Too low, and its burns off of the piston crown and damage can result. Too high and it makes sludge in the exhaust. The best is to run a 91 octane fuel without ethanol and a good synthetic mix oil. Pair this for your sled and the auger will work fine with it. I run Motul 700 and 99 octane race fuel, but 91 ethanol free should be more than fine.

When in doubt, use full throttle. It may not improve the situation, but it will end the suspense.
