Not sure which mix to go with. I do not want to ruin my new auger.
Does anyone know what the proper mix should be.

Your physical manual says 20/25:1? Or that is just what you saw in one of the manuals that pops up in a google search?
Since it is a new auger it should be 50:1. Your physical manual should say this and I believe it is printed on the gas cap as well. The manual that shows up in google search stating 20:1 then 25:1 is from 2004 so obviously outdated and not for the current viper engines which are all 50:1.
Edit: If you physical manual says 20/25 then call Eskimo give them your serial number and ask them to confirm what ratio you should be using.
