Any little aluminum BBs on the plug? What color is it?

 

[sandancer]

no the plug is a little reddish.. that means its running lean. correct?

 

[York Racing]

Yes that means it is running lean. You want a dark brown color.

 

[sandancer]

i thought it should be a tannish.. i could be wrong.. idk

 

[York Racing]

Rich is never going to hurt anything. Tan is just about borderline lean. Anything lighter than brown should probably be bumped up in jetting.

 

[sandancer]

ok gotcha. thanks for explaining that. makes perfect sense.

 

[sandancer]

ive been running 40:1. should i run 32:1?

 

[York Racing]

Sure. When your rich the motor gets more oil and fuel which lubes it more. If it's LEAN it will overheat and burn up because of lack of lubrication.

 

[York Racing]

I run 50:1 because of my setup but yes you should run 32:1 and anything richer than that is better. I believe two strokes run most effiecently at 13:1 or something but thats not economic and oil will be a major $$$ setback. Just run 32:1 or richer if possible. I know people that run around 25:1 and the motors last longer but they foul plugs slightly easier.

If you have anymore questions private message me and I will get back to you soon. Hope the info helped. =]

I beleive you meant "lean" not rich. A lean condition overheats the motor and will allow some bad sh*t to happen....

yea thats not a very good thing to say you do know that if u add more oil to your gas you have to bump up the jeting because the more oil the less gas you get so more oil isnt always a good thing.......

also runing lean doesnt realy mean lack of lubercation it means its geting to much air so it runs to hot every blow on a fire samething with your motor it overheats and thats what causes the problem

 

[York Racing]

Yeah sorry I meant lean. I will edit it. And running rich will not hurt anything but it may make you foul plugs and clog the silencer more often but not bad.
