TylerP Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Most 2 strokes are happy with 32-40:1 and its a safe mixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 hi Anyone know the ratio for oil to fuel that I need to go in the tank as my oil pump no longer works. cheers Hi Matt what went wrong with the pump ? If the pump is junk I would run at about 30:1 .. but don't forget you may need to adjust the jetting as you will have a mixture running thro them rather than 'pure' fuel which in turn may make the bike run a little weak and give you some ignition/overheat problems ! It would be good to know what has gone wrong with the pump as they were ultra good ! Regards Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Jim To be fair not sure as I haven't used this for a long while as I got a diversion after learning on the rxs about 5 years back. has been in the garage ever since. Started it up a few weeks back as am sellling it but when my dad had it MOT'd about 4 years ago the garage disconnected it saying it was damaged and I have never had the chance to look into it. Seem to remember disconnecting the pump when I fitted a new accelerator able at some point which may have done something. Maybe it just needs setting up again properly. thanks for the advice on the oil mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
