[QUOTE="2strokerfun, post: 1414038, member: 69719"] Running more oil (up to 20:1 anyway) with an engine that is sound and jetted correctly will not cause more spooge. Spooge is caused by unburnt fuel/oil mix. If you are jetted correctly and your engine is sound, you should be burning nearly all of your premix fuel/oil and excessive spooge is not a problem. Most spooge problems I've dealt with were fixed with deliberate and methodical rejetting (or replacement of the carb on worn vintage bikes and rejetting). Too many people think running less oil fixes spooge and all that does is richen the amount of gasoline being introduced into the cylinder, usually making the problem worse rather than better. If you are jetted at any given point, a certain amount of fuel/oil is going to be mixed with the air and introduced into your cylinder. If you lessen the amount of oil in that mix, the amount of gasoline increases. The same amount of fuel/oil is going in, no matter what the ratio of them to each other. What you need to do is change the amount of the fuel/oil to the ratio of the air, which is where jetting comes into play. And it isn't always as easy as just pilot and main jet. It can be the needle, needle jet, worn slide or other things too sometimes. But as VintageBob pointed out, if your top end is worn or your seals are bad, all the jetting in the world won't likely fix the problem until you address those issues. Keep on Trying!!! Jetting isn't as bad as some people imagine, but it does take time and a few brass parts. [/QUOTE]
