Benefits of running premix?

Had my engine out today for a good clean and got it ready to put the polini sport and 21mm carb on it and i took my oil pump out to clean it and thought of premixing it instead from now on. Just wondering how you remove the gear as i just couldn't seem to get it out no matter what i done to it lol. It's on a piaggio zip sp mk1. Think all piaggio engines are all pretty alike so anyone that could explain to me what the benefits of running premix are and how i could get this bloody oil pump gear out it is much appreciated!!

thanks

No idea about the pump drive on piaggios, but I premix my aerox just because I don't trust the oil pump, and its not worth ruining my crank and cylinder because I couldn't be arsed to premix

You will need to go up one size on the main jet though

 

Cheers mate, didn't know if it took any stress off the crank and gave a bit of increase on performance or anything?.. think my carb is slightly overjetted anyway

 

Suppose it take a bit of resistance off the crank, probably not noticeable.

Doesn't really add performance, but should be done as a precaution when tuning really

 

i bought a aerox ova day and it premix i cant be arsed wi premix but is it better to premix or not

 

From what ive heard its a lot better if you're tuning and worried your autolube isn't putting enough oil through

 

what id like to know is how you blank off the oil feed... ? like with what

 

a screw

 

Is that it ?

..On an aerox mind

 

ye just screw a screw in the pipe

 

gonna look into this then if its that simple....

is it not well awkward when filling up at petrol stations ? lol

 

I suppose it would be a bit awkward but what would you prefer an angry old man moaning because you're taking too long or a seized engine lool :/.

 

haha good point... the old man would get told to piss off and go to another pump tbf. haha

think im just gonna drop a bit of 2t into the petrol tank n give it a good shake with the oil pump still on

 

would get far too much oil then lol.. ride down the road with blue clouds following you!

 

just get a babys bottle lol it has 25mm to 100mm i mix 25mm to a litre so it simple get 3 litres then mix 75mm takes 5 min

 

Im only on about the smallest bit so its only very slightly 'premixed' and obv still have the oil pump functioning as usual ?

 

Just carry some measuring spoons under your seat, and your oil.

At a petrol station you could just fill up, add the oil and shake the bike to mix it. I usually mix it in a separate container though.

 

Thats wat im sayingg, fill up the bike as normal at the petty station, then open up ya seat drop a small bit of 2t in there shake it up a bit then zoom zoom.

 

Yeah but it's got to be the correct amount

 

even with the oil pump in action/fitted ?

was just gonna tip a very small bit so its like 99.5% petrol .5% 2t, literally a drop of oil ?

Im gonna get that Stage6 measuring jug thing from PP, how much would you say was ideal if iv still got the oil pump connected up ?
