Hey, I recently picked up a 1984 Kawasaki KXT-A Tecate. I got all the parts on e bay and fabricated all my parts to restore this classic. Today my parts were delivered so tomarrow I get to go ride her!!! :w00t: except i cant find what the required factory fuel mixture...

WHAT IS THE GAS[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]IL FUEL MIXTURE FOR A 1984 kxt-a TECATE????????

also, its been awhile since i had a 2-stroker. I used to run klotz benoil it my pw,kx, and my honda 250r but i dont even see that around anymore. i know they are all good now a days but for you tecate guys and other 2 stoke riders; what is your prefered 2-cycle oil and do you notice a difference?

Sorry this quick question is so long, im just so astatic about tomarrows opening run. She doesnt have very many hours on it and has been sitting for 10+years. Thank you so much for ANY feed back!!

 

does it auto mix by any chance?

 

No, unfortunetly it doesnt. I always loved that feature though. maked it easier and harder to burn down. Of course when i was 14 i burnt my xcr 440sp down from not keeping any oil in the oil injector jug.

 

I would just use 32:1

I would never trust one of those pre oilers.

 

yeah, thats what i was tihnking. I believe thats what my old kx250 called for too.

 

I talked to a guy who had a factory manual and listen to this... Factory calls for 20:1... that seems aweful rich doesnt it???

 

Todays oils are way better than yesterday.

That was form the 80's, oils have changed. 32:1 is you best bet and your safest.

 

32:1 is very safe, maybe even a little rich. My Lt calls for 20:1 but when you run a premium oil that is rediculous. Even at 32:1 the thing was way too rich I have found 38:1 to be the magic number for mine. Do what you feel is safest.

On the Oils, these are on the mid-high end of price, but I have always had good luck with the Maxima 927, Golden Spectro, and Motul.

Have fun!!!

 

ok, thanks alot.... that makes alot of sence. I will use 32:1... i got the thing going today but it wont get the rpms up right.... kind of feels like it hits a rev limiter and dies out then starts climbing again when i hold the throttle open...uuhhg getting frustrated... think i'll have advanced auto check the coil tomarrow after work.... thanks again for the info and helping me get back to me 2 stroke roots!!!
