2smoke oil & ratio thread merged

:thumb: Thanks Rich, This is exactly the stuff I am referencing. I agree completely with the load and time factors as well. To each his own.
I would rather trust the knowledgable in the field, that have spent the time doing the research and spending the bucks in the process, than listening to
" I run at 50:1 and change my piston every third race."
:think: Makes me wonder why they have to change their piston so often.

The thought of extra oil providing better ring seal crossed my mind. Cool to know someone performed such a test w/ consistant air/fuel ratios.

re: MCulloch published a paper years ago showing the horsepower gains that can come from improved sealing when additional oil was added to two-stroke fuel..

I read that.

As I recall, they continued to make more power with more oil until they got to the point they just couldn't get their engines to run (fire) anymore.

Thanks Rethnal,

It's been a long time since I've recieved a commendation for anything!

1. Golden Spectro recommends 52:1 for average riding, should I add a little more oil to the gas?

2. My bikes jetting is right on now, plug is tan. If I add more oil to gas it will run leaner and I'll have to re-jet right? It sounds like maybe it's worth it?
