32:1 is good, but probably saved for more experienced carb tuners. 40:1 is more than ample for trail riding w/ a full synthetic and will give you some plug-fouling tolerance.
Sorry Inda and GS, my dumba@$ mistake. I have been mixing 1 pint to 4 gallons = 32:1, not 16:1. I knew it was 1 pint to 4 gallons, but slipped on the actual numeric ratio. I should be okay there. I might try 40:1 and see how that pans out.
I will go with Amsoil or a full synthetic too. Thanks!
If I do modify the jetting to reduce the fuel in the fuel/oxygen mixture, thus hopefully reducing the amount of fuel/oil mix that is not getting burned, is this pretty easy to do?
