Can someone recommend the correct petrol/ oil mixture for Villiers two-stroke engines, using modern two-stroke oils? Not 16 to 1, I hope!

I can never understand why owners keep asking this question about oil, Villiers clearly stated the oil type & ratio on all their engines, and although oils have improved over the years the basic rules still apply. Modern two stroke oils are designed for oil injected two strokes where it goes directly undiluted into the bearings, the petroil mix is more hit and miss so needs a higher ratio to keep things oiled. As one who has experimented with lower oil ratio's back in the day at my detriment, but when you could buy an exchange 32A crank for around £13, I certainly would not risk it these days with prices now 10 tomes higher.
By the way, to be inadvertently antisocial on runs, you won't beat a Scott. Straight SAE40 fed direct to the engine bearings regardless of whether the engine is firing or not. Vital to set the Pilgrim pump up right it you don't want to be banished to the back of the group.Colin Sparrow
