What the oil says to mix at. Most amsoils are 50:1.
Clearance should be .003- .0035...

We've run over 50:1 with amzoil for trail machines, been up to 100:1 on race machines with a high end synthetic.

When building a modified racing 2-stroke, good rule of thumb is the more HP the engine is makeing after being modified, the more additional cylinder clearance you'll need above stock. HP makes heat, heat grows pistons, especially in an air-cooled motor. If you are going to run stock clearances, better run an oil mix more like 32:1.
We run 0.006" with cast pistons, Wiseco's need even more to prevent sticking because of their thermal expansion rate.

Ring end gap, not more then 0.007"
