Oil ?and couple of problems

[aguita]

hello..what r the differences on between the 10w 30 yamalube and the 20w 50, cuz i got 2 quarts free from a pal that has lots of it..and i was plannin on go and trade it for the 10w 30 one.?also,when i start my bike cold it idles high but when is warm it idles ok but u need to maintain the throttle a lil open so it wont die..if i dont hold it it dies..also when i start it from 1st gear it bogs a lil but then fine..all this happened after i installed the reeds..also i have a clock like ( more like a timer) on the flywheel!..i was told that that is for the timming !? i really dont know what for is that..also i live outside USA and i dont understand the mixing thing that like 40:1 !? i mix 3 Oz of oil per gallon? is this ok? i use motul 800,also for some reason when i put the fuel cock in on position after 3 mins of riding no fuel pass thru it with a full tank,but if i use RES it works perfect,so i need to use RES all the time..thanks

Let me try this....

 

1. Do a oil search(There is a big write up on this)

 

2. The bogging sounds like u need to adjust ur pilots and clean the carbs

 

3. If U can bump the timing up a Lil' to a +4 which I believe bumps the spark(may be wrong)

 

4. I'm not sure of the 3cc but, I run a 40:1 mixture... I have tried 32:1 mixture but, U should read what the Manu. recomended mixture.

 

5. Sounds like ur Petcock is either plugged or Broke.. U might try and clean it or simply get another petcock or just run the reserve(Just make sure U can make it back fir more fuel)

There is a different filter for your on + reserve tube. Petcock filter is plugged. A UK oz is different than a us oz. 128 in a U.S. gallon, 160 in a U.K. gallon. W/3oz of oil you are running 42:1 us measurement, or 53:1 U.K. measurement. I don't know what your oil recomends, but I would stay pretty close to 40:1 w/just about anything good.
