I think a lot of people forgot to check the date of the posts. But most of the time, 2 stroke gas won't hurt a 4 stroke engine. Its not recommended but in reality, there isn't that much oil in the 2 stroke gas anyway. I mix mine 40-1 for my Poulan chain saw. I've never put in any 4 stroke atv but I have put it in my old Snapper lawnmower. It made it smoke a bit more but didn't hurt it. If I did it now, I wouldn't even notice. The old Snapper uses so much oil and smokes so much now anyway. Keeps fouling spark plugs, I get about 3 uses out of a plug before I just throw it away and put another $3 plug in. I guess I should just buy a new mower lol.

Old enough to buy their own ATVs and know what to put in the tank.

Default Not a gas issue...

gas issues have nothing to do with shifting, he messed up the transmission
