Premixing

Right, I have just ordered myself a 70 kit and my oil pump is a bit tempremental (sp?) so i was just wondering, what ratio am i meant to mix the two stroke with the petrol.
Thanks alot

 

100ml to every 5 litres seems to be the norm, about 50:1

 

so 20ml to every litre mate.

What i did was got a little bottle and a permanent marker pen and measuring jug.

Poured 20ml of water into the bottle and put a line there on the bottle with the perm marker.

Then added another 40ml and did another line saying 2 litres, and so on upto 5 litres.

Then when i fill up with petrol i look at the litres i put in, get my oil and little bottle out, fill up in the bottle to the amount of litres petrol i put in and pour the oil from the bottle into the petrol tank

 

Your better to put the oil in first than add the fuel... that way when the fuels added its helps mix the oil into the petrol.... if you just dump oil into the tank of fuel it will sink and not be very well mixed.

 

...Just as though you had a Lambretta! :w00t:

 

Better to do it into a petrol can, then give it a good shake to mix it all up before putting it in your tank, could be a pain in the arse but you don't want it siezing and crap.
