4 cups (1 quart) of synthetic 2 stroke oil in 2 gallons of gas and your exhaust will puke oil like mad. I run what appears to be 1 cup of Amsoil Dominator in 2 gallons of gas (will have to look on my RatioRite cup and see the actual amount), 50:1 and it still pukes oil out the exhaust. Amsoil Dominator is super slick. The motors just don't need that much of a slippery oil. If ya got oil coming out the exhaust and dripping all over the front of your cylinder, you're running too much oil. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I would really question ANY recommendation of running air cooled 2-strokes at 100 to 1 ratio. The 100 to 1 ratio came about in the marine industry to appease the Feds (EPA)when they realized outboards put oil into the water thru the exhaust. Remember, an outboard engine is water cooled, not air cooled, big difference. If you want to run synthetic, fine, but I would stay kind of close to 2 cups oil to a gallon. Yea, maybe they SAY they will stand behind their recommendation, but have a problem, "try to collect!" I'd like to see you get that in writing from Amsoil. FOLLOWS ----- For several years I have used Amsoil SABER professional 2- stroke oil at 100-1 with 89 or 92 octane non ethel gas with the red sta-bil fuel stablelizer. I have had no problems at all in my 55st,my topper or harley golf cart. I use the same mix in all my small engines,weed eater,chainsaw, exc. I also use the outboard saber oil in my 80's outboard motor at 100-1 I e-mailed amsoil to ask about using at 100-1 in the old motorcycles and the replied that it would be fine and they would stand behind it. If anyone else wants to email amsoil with the same ? now,I would like hear what they are told. |
