Favorite fuel oil mix ratio
Just wondering the different fuel oil mix people run. I usually run mine a tad rich for peace of mind.
If you had a choice to date supermodels for the rest of your life or ride dirt bikes, would you choose a 2-stroke or a 4-stroke?

Re: Favorite fuel oil mix ratio
I run ams dominator about 40 to 1. like I said I run mine a little rich. I don't know if it helps prolong the life of the motor to run it rich but I would think it would

Just curious. How exactly is less oil going to prolong the life of the engine?bone7615 wrote:I run ams dominator about 40 to 1. like I said I run mine a little rich. I don't know if it helps prolong the life of the motor to run it rich but I would think it would

klotz beanoil (or however they spell it) mixed at 1:37.85
I know, that sounds like a strange number but it allows me to put a 200 ML bottle of oil in a 2 gallon can or a 350 ML or oil in my almost empty tank
oh, and that oil smells GOOD

Re: Favorite fuel oil mix ratio
The ams oil can says run 50 to 1 and I run 40 to 1 . Yes that oil smells so good.

50:1 Walmart super tech. My old 89 has never had a oil related problem yet. My 1997 street legal 220 had over 7300 miles and no problems.
