----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Here is a e-mail I receaved from a man who overhauls these little engines. "I run 32:1 ratio . I use only Amsoil Dominator synthetic 2 stroke oil." When I asked him what Harley-Davidson used to recommend in the old owners manual this is what he told me. "The book recommends 25:1, but that was using 40-w motor oil back in them days. Modern oils are designed to be ran at a different ratio. If you run modern oil at 25:1, you will have oil running out the pipe at the cylinder to pipe joint. Even 32:1 you will still have oil all over your engine." Hope this helps you. Could you please tell me who restored your bike, it really looks nice.
