how much oil do you put in a gallon of gas for a 2 stroke motor

 

in a kid quad i would mix it 50:1

 

I use torco gp7 in all my 2-strokes at 40:1.

 

I like 40:1 mixture.1 gallon gas=3.2oz oil or 5 gallon gas=16 oz oil

 

does it matter what ratio i run

 

there is probably a ratio that the factory recomends for your bike.Just remember that the smaller the first number is in your ratio the more oil there is.For example:40:1 ratio has more oil mixed than 50:1 ratio.Two strokes need this oil mixed in the gas for lubrication just like 4 strokes are oiled from the crankase oil.So the more oil in your ratio gives your engine more protection from blowing up.But to much oil might cause your 4-wheeler to run bad or might foul spark plugs.the ratio 32:1 is a real safe ratio.you might try it and if you 4-wheeler dont run good you might go down to 40:1.Ratio 32:1 is 1gallon=4oz oil

 

how do i find the ratio the factory recomends

 

call a dealership that sales your atv.the service department should be able to tell you

 

thxs for all your help

 

I like 32:1, because i'd rather replace a plug a little more often than to have to rebuild a top end.....

Sorry, that is 4 oz of Quality oil (Valvoline or the like, not Home Depot brand), to 1 gallon of gas.
