Mine was an '89 with a pipe and silencer. I ran 92 octane with a 50:1 ratio using Klotz oil. Never fouled a plug in 13 years.

50:1 wow I'd didn't think that was recomended. What oil were you using. I was always told 32:1 to 35:1. but hey I guess if it didn't lock up it must work.

WOW!! I run mid-grade and Klotz syntec blend at 20:1.....No wonder I foul plugs while putty-chuggin'!!! But that's okay, I like the smell and the smoke, even if the people behind me do not[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

you will run a lot better if you lean that mixture out some. 20:1 is waay to rich for the quality of purification and processing that oil goes through

Thats what was reccomended back in 1987-1990. Oils of today are much better.

I am running VP race gas C12 at 40:1 and my zilla rips! Oh yeah I am also using Maxima full synthetic oil. I used to think that 32:1 was better until I tried the C12 at 40:1 WOW! what a diff.
Just my .02 cents worth.
