i don't fool around with mix ratios anymore.
dirt bike folks, need not read this any further.
how many of you mix with a 2-stroke mixing cup? the mixing cup has markings on it in ounces, and most have another set of markings for different ratios.
40:1 = 3.20 ounces of oil per gallon
50:1 = 2.56 ounces of oil per gallon
3.20 (-) 2.56 = 0.64 ounces
OR another way
1 Tablespoon = 0.50 ounce (1/2 ounce)
point is: you have no idea
1. unless you mix with a ratio cup
2. unless you buy your oil in tiny bottles (already in the correct ratio)
an "extra splash", "just to be safe" changes the ratio more than you think.
my question is..... what are y'all actually running?
sure "you can tune it out" with the carb as many here say. although, fuel/air and fuel/oil are two different things.
how many folks actually retune after adding an extra splash?
