Running a Haltech need some premix help. Yes I have searched.

So after research on the forum it seems that 2 Stroke TC-W3 is the oil of most to premix. I wandered down to my local auto parts store today and the only brand of 2 cycle oil that I could find was Coastal(yeah real high quality stuff) anyone using this brand of oil in there gas?
So they have the 16 ox bottles. Someone recommended using 2 of these and I have read elswere to use one bottle per fill-up. Which is better 1 bottle or 2?
Last question has t do with fouling the plugs. Do you foul the plugs more often when premixing.

No, spark plugs foul less, if anything.

I don't know what that ratio works out to exactly, but I run 200:1 2 stroke sythetic for injected motors. Can buy it at the motorcyle or PWC shops.

I run 1 oz per every gallon, it pretty much comes down to 100 to 1; I normally use penzoil 2 stroke oil, it comes in a yellow bottle in 16 oz. You can get it at Kmart, walmart, and advanced auto parts.

this may sound weird, but make sure you are using a "pre-mix" style of two-cycle.

When I first started premixing, I used amsoil Oil injection 2cycle by accident and it smoked blue hardcore on startup. I switched to amsoil 100:1 pre-mix and it is running much cleaner now

I mix 1oz per gallon or slightly less.
anything more than that is overkill and could foul your plugs

Ok I went to the motercycle shop. The guy there recomended
"Golden Spectro, premix concentrate, sythetic/petrolium blend"
Anyone using this.

P.S. Did not tell the guy what I was using it for only that I was premixing.

It'll work, but it's very expensive stuff.
I use Valvoline Multi-Use premix in the dark blue bottle.
It's like a little over $2/quart or $8/gallon.
