I am considering switching from 50:1 to 32:1. I need opinions and also how RPM change will I notice? Will the RPM go higher or lower? How do I tell if an oil is sythetic ?
I agree. Just make sure you adjust your carb if you increase your oil because it thickens the fuel mix, slowing the flow rate. So generally you need to richen the fuel to air adjustment.Quite a few years go I raced enduro bikes.The shop I raced for gave us out an info packet that had a quite lengthy study about oil in 2 strokes.Basicaly from what I remember it showed that increasing the oil in the mix helped the rings to seal better and create more hp,and I think run cooler.Anybody got any thoughts on this?

Here's a 372XP I have apart now, There is a chunk broken out of the piston. The inside of the engine was dry, sticky to the touch. The wrist pin bearing was so dry I could rattle it. The owner said he mixed 50:1. This looks like a lack of lubrication to me.

50:1 equals 50 drops of oil to one gallon of gas right?
