97 Xpress 300 - What is the correct gas/oil ratio?

The previous owner bypased the oil system and was just adding oil directly to the gas. I plan to continue doing that. What is the correct ratio for this machine?

40-1 ratio is a happy medium for premixing. OPT

i wouldn't go any more then 40 to 1 so you don't have oil fouled plugs.
