What is the corect ratio to run my gas at

[dnoftz]

There has been a lot of discussion on what ratio to run your gas at.
So much in fact that Im more confused now then ever. So I have a stock blaster that has been bored 40 over. what ratio should I be running? I run 40 to one in all my other toys. :-/

32:1 .

technically, you can run whatever ratio you want, assuming its jetted accordingly. Just running lower than 24:1 will be detrimental because the little 200cc won't make enough heat to burn all that oil.

Don't listen to anyone that says that less oil = more power because that has been proven false.

I would advise against running less than 40:1 though, premix oil is your engine's lifeblood, don't starve it of that.

Wonder how many actually read this? Factory Banshee says 24:1, repair manual for my 72 250 Elsinore says 20:1, I run the Banshee and Blaster both at 28:1. I understand the lighter oil mix because you can have more fuel, therefore more power. I won't miss a little power, but I sure as hell will miss my bearings.

^i've read that in a few different variations on different sites, and i've the gordon jennings take on it as well.

I run my Zilla at 20:1 like Suzuki suggests and it's been great to me

I run the Blaster 25:1 with a castor blend oil. The more oil the less fuel, so the air to fuel ratio I feel is compensated. I seldom foul a plug, as the motor is usually on full power all the time and after warm up there is only a slight wisp of smoke.

I have heard discussed that a Castor blend oil at 25:1 will add up to 3% more power. The "little 200cc" develops more than enough heat to burn all that oil, if jetted correctly. I choose to run rich and reap the benefit of less rebuilds.

i meant for more than 24:1 oil ratios, aka 20, 16, 12:1...lol

No less than 40:1 32:1 is for if your riding it hard. 40:1 is for like starting it up and putzing it arround the yard. 32:1 if for riding hard with your buddies and anything higher than that is if you got the money for all the oil it eats.

 

[quadboy22p]

the mix really depends on the oil being used, the type of riding being done and the jetting, basically run whatever works for you don't go less than 40:1 unless you are sure of what you are doing i run c16, the lead in the fuel helps as a lubricant so i generally run fully synthetic @ 40:1

I ran the piss outta my banshee for 4 hard years at 40:1 with amsoil interceptor before it lost compression....

Im switching over to Amsoil Dominator now because its red so its a lot easier to tell if the gas is mixed. That and it smells awesome
