it all depends on what it was jetted for. changing your oil/fuel ratio will also change your air/fuel ratio. i would try mixing it about 32:1 to start with and ride it for about 10 minutes and check the plug to see if it is running rich or lean. if the insulator inside the plug is lighter than a medeum brown, try running it at 40:1 or 50:1, if the insulator is darker then a medeum brown, i would leave it at 32:1 and get the carb rejetted. my personal opinion is not to run more oil than about 32:1 or you might start oil fouling your plugs. hope this helps.

I would run 32:1 That is 4 ounces of mix oil to one gallon of gas I would jet accordingly to run this mix it really helps the longjevity of your crank bearings.

Run it at whatever ratio the bottle of oil says to run it at.

Differen't oils are recommended to be run at differen't ratios. The manufacturer of the oil has gone through extensive testing to determine what ratio to run the oil and gas.

I wouldn't suggest trying to adjust your jetting by changing the amount of oil in the gas. Mix it by the bottles recommendation and then change jets or needle position to dial in the jetting. That is the correct way to jet your bike/quad.
