Ive always used damn near the whole quart per a FULL fill up.. Wanna see some rotors from one of my motors?

You'd be suprised, dont hurt **** I ve been doing it almost 10 years

 

What ratio is that? That's about 60:1 right? (bloody imperial measurements) Yeah, it's probably not gonna hurt anything... it's just that you don't need that much.

And I'd be wary of useing that much with the turbo engine because you're decreasing the fuels octane level. Then you really may hurt something.

 

Oh, come on, I want to argue about what oil to use I have always used Redline, gokart, 2cycle oil in my race car. I have done this for almost 10 years now(didnt race from 96-00' and of coarse I had 3 diff. motors) and have never seen any carbon build up or any problems out of it??

 

Jeez!

I always recommend, and have used, roughly 1oz to 1 gallon. That is 1:128. In truth I typically would use 8ox bottles and would need to put 10-12 gallons in on an empty tank. That's a bit leaner than 1:128. Worst case scenario, that's 1:192 or thereabouts.

The stock OMP on 1st-gens varies from 1:150 at full throttle to as little as 1:400.

Anything over 1oz to 1 gallon is really overkill, and probably hurts in the form of carbon and spark plug fouling.

 

Someone wrote, how do you tell if the OMP died already??
I am concerned cause my engine sounds almost squeaky, dunno if it's due to no oil or something. Is there any way to tell besides pulling the tubes off and measuring it, and how fast does it kill the engine.

 

If you suspect it's dead then start pre-mixing NOW. Then pull the OMP lines that go into the carb, set the RPMS to about 2k and see what comes outa the lines after 5 or 10 minutes. That should tell you if it's working or not. The factory manual has the proceedure all lined out for ya.

 

I just look in the carb and see if oil is dripping out of the tubes. It takes a minute or so for oil to come up the line after you pull it off the nipple.

I drove a long time with no OMP and no premix. It's not a "sudden death" kind of thing if it goes bad. You do more harm IMO if you accelerate hard on a cold engine.

 

Peejay...did you take your omp off? should i remove mine or just add premix?

 

I didn't take it off, it was just not working.

 

As for 2- stroke oil, I have rebuilt and own 2 2-stroke racing 4 wheelers. The best 2-stroke oil is a fully synthetic oil and a really good brand is Bel-Ray H1r or there MC-1 lubricant.
