I know this may sound dumb, but I have a question about mixtures. I have a 1997 KTM 360EXC, I was running a 32:1 mixture with motul synthetic, it ran poorly but strong, smoked to all hell, wouldn't idle for even a second, spit tons of oil out of the pipe, and was downright evil when it came to starting. Someone suggested to run it 40:1 and I tried it, it seems to be running like a champ, idling smooth, kicked over in 2 kicks, 2 kicks no joke(it used to take a lot more than two). Anyway I am a true 2 stroke newbie and was wondering if this ratio is dangerous for the engine? Is it 32:1 on a regular oil and different ratios on synthetic? Thanks in advance!
