Hi, I have just finished rebuilding a lt50 for my daughter, I was thinking of doing away with the auto lube system as the last piston had seize marks on it and have heard that at idle the oil pump does not pump. what ratio fuel/oil would be recommended to use? I was thinking of about 32:1?

 

40:1 is what i run in all my 2 strokes

 

I run 32:1 with a good synthetic oil.

 

I have removed the oil pump and blocked of the banjo bolt and mixed the fuel 32:1 but when it idles down it takes a while i am pretty sure the slide in the carby is returning quick enough. Just a thought do I have to make a new gasket for the clutch cover as the original gasket has ports for the two stroke pump could these two ports be causing an air leak? has anyone else removed the 2 stroke pump from there lt50?
