Default Lt80 gas/oil mix problems

My sons LT80 seems to load up and stall out after he is riding for a little while. About 1/2hr. Currently I am running 32:1 premix. (Injector doesn't work). He doesn't go too fast at the moment. I have it governed down. He is still new to it. With it governed down he just doesn't rev it up enough. When I get on it I get it going pretty good. I just don't want to have to stop every 20 mins to clean it out. Should I change the mix ratio? Or maybe a hotter plug? Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

You can try a hotter plug but with it governed down, it'll prolly continue to load up.

What about changing the mix would that help?

You could try 40:1
What oil are you using?

Just a general 2stroke oil. What would be a good choice for oil?

did you go in and ask your dealer what a 2 stroke mix is? I would think 40-1 or 50-1 would be good..

Changing the fuel/oil ratio is unlikely to help. About the only thing that I could recommend is jetting it a little leaner. Or you open up throttle, get it cleaned out for him, ( ring it out a little ) and then re-adjust the throttle for your son to ride.

To answer this question, I like synthetic oils.
Red Line, Klotz R-50, and prolly the most available oil, Maxima Super M. Any of those at 32:1 or 40:1
You can go with amsoil if you want to try a 50:1 oil
