[QUOTE="plynn41, post: 1390012, member: 107560"] I've had more than one professional engine tuner (including one who worked for Superbike racer Nicky Haydn) tell me that running too much oil in 2t premix will seize an engine just like running too lean. I know it's not intuitive, but the extra oil takes away from the gasoline volume, which is what supplies the cooling charge to the cylinder walls, due to gasoline's rate of evaporation. Oil doesn't cool the cylinder--it just lubricates. And fwiw, it's not a "guess". 2-stroke oil has improved a lot over the past 35 years. I personally have been running Klotz Techniplate at 40:1 in my kid's 85cc screamer, and my 250 mx bike with no problems. The oil is a blend of synthetic and bean oil. No way did they have that stuff in 1976. I trust the pros. Regards, Lynn [/QUOTE]
