I have to mix up some oil/gas for my nephews 50cc four wheeler. The guy I bought it from said 28:1 ratio. I would call this guy back but I lost his number. The question is what kind of 2 stroke oil should I use? What is a good way to get the 28:1 ratio?

Must be one of the cheap Chinese 4 wheeler!
28:1 is stated for a reason! The tolerences on these 4 wheelers are sloppy, and I would stick with the recommended ratios.
You NEED to use synthetic 2 stroke oil with this one! I have experience with these chinese motors, and they last a lot longer with synthetic oil.
After it is well broken in, you can go to about 32:1, and it will be ok, just watch the smoke. if it smokes a little bit, it will be alright.

I use AMS Oil They make an excellent Two stroke synthetic oil. As for mixing, Get a Ratio Rite beaker. It's basically like a measuring cup in your kitchen, except it shows you how much to add for whatever ratio for 1-4 gallons.

28:1 might be a little to much oil and could foul the spark plug on a little machine like a 50cc
Mix it at 32:1
That's 32 parts gas and one part oil
One quart of liquid is 32 ounces
So for every quart (32 ounces) 32:1 one ounce of oil
4 quarts in a gallon - 4 ounces of oil for every gallon of gas.
Or use a "ratio rite" cup.
Every ratio and measurement imaginable is written on the cup.
Every person in the world that has a 2 stroke, that needs to mix the oil with the gas has one.

Pick - Offroad Catalog
Go to - Index - Ratio Rite
Use any brand name 2 stroke oil made for motorcycles (available at bike shops and on-line catalogs).
Do not use junk from Walmart, gas stations, or hardware stores.
Golden Spectro, Maxima, Bel Ray, Yama-Lube, etc.
If it's sold at a bike shop, or motorcycle catalog, it will be adequate.

you have to actually mix it up? that's gotta suck, usually there are two tanks and the engine mixes it, well that's the way it's been with any 2-stroke thing I've had...
