Use a decent synthetic 2 stroke oil at 50:1 or 40:1 if it makes you nervous. 25:1 was used way back in the day when oils were not as good and new engines came with silly tight tolerances.

Don't be put off by the Class 2 thing. If you stay class one you limit yourself to a very cramped 4x4 dogbox. Class two gives you some proper room to work with. The 1300 initially looks good, but...
