As long as the carb mixture is set correctly - 32:1 is plenty. Heck, if you are running too lean, 16:1 won't save your hyde!
As long as you use a TC rated oil, you'll be fine. These engines aren't to picky.
While it is generally accepted to "take it easy" for the first coule of tanks for "break in" - I think we are just being too careful. When you buy a new chainsaw, weed trimmer, or other two stroke equipment - do they have you run more oil or at no load for "break in"? Heck no, pull the starter and get to work! Same goes for any power equipment, fuel it up and GO!
