BANSH-alena-jol-EE Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 what is the proper ratio for gas to oil, ive been mixing it slightly richer than 50: 1 for a while now, but had a friend tell me that he mixes 25:1..... WHATS THE DEAL Quote
2001Stroker Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Read the back of the canister of oil that you buy. It usually gives recomendations. Yamaha calls for 24:1, but that is way too rich. Personally, I'll probably be running either 36:1 or 40:1 in my new motor. Whichever it likes better. There's someone on here that runs 100:1 with Amsoil, which I think is crazy. But, it works for him. Quote
swrbansheeboy Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 pretty much any ratio you decide to run is fine (within reason, you cant run 100-1 with anything but amsoil dominator) as long as your jetting is dialed in for it. just remember that oil rich=fuel lean, the richer your mixture the less fuel your throwing in your engine which can create a lean condition. if your jetted for 50-1 and switch to 32-1 you should jet up to provide more fuel to your engine...

I'd run Yamalube 32:1 tho. Quote
