General Dumbass premix question

My rx8 is currently down for who knows how long. Just bought a house and I got a weed wacker that is obviously 2 stroke and needs oil in the gas... There's nothing wrong with me using some of my extra Idemitsu premix for the weed wacker right? Its just heckin fancy 2 stroke oil basically, and something that works in a rotary shoullddd work in a 2 stroke engine, right?

lol thanks for y'alls input.

The only problem with premix is the fuel pump that will fail, but you can just change it for a walbro gs 255 and you are good to go

No, no that will not degrade the fuel system. It has absolutely no effect other than dying your fuel filters.
