I use about 25-1 for break-in and 50-1 the rest of the time. Been running that for 1 and 1/2 years with no problems.

[@OddBallPerformance]

The heavy oil mix on the break in is more for the bearings and seals than it is for the piston, rings, and cylinder. Easy way around this for me has always been to use petroleum jelly on the wrist pin needle bearings and a mix of said petroleum jelly and 2 stroke oil in the lower crank and con-rod. Prevents the dry run startup but dissolved away relatively quickly without creating issues once the engine is run. Want to really help the cylinder then take the cylinder off and clean the crap out of it and the piston, lightly chamfer the ring edges (then clean) and then oil everything during assembly with straight 2 stroke oil. Yes, this does mean you have to take the motor apart to do all of the above, but I always do anyway since the case seals are often installed like crap, and the level of fine metal debris inside said engines is disturbing.

[@nathanwest4670]

agreed, I take er apart, deck her up nice, check for over-hang, etc then coat her good with two stroke oil to help with the first dry start. I have heard mixing a bit of vasoline in there with the two stroke oil, like say on the wrist pin and bearings, etc, works wonders. I have a block rn I got to put a new piston, wrist-pin bearing and rings on, so I will be trying a bit of vasoline with the oil as well. I want to use the old cylinder from the motor when the piston failed but there is a small spot where a peice of the ring scratched the cylinder wall, it's not horrible and as a matter of fact still appears to be plated in that small area. But I can feel it when I rub my finger across it. I suppose I could try the jug, after dremling out the overhang, and just see. I meanI have never seen such nicely done ports from the factory (the over hang was below the port areas), so I really want this cylinder to go to use again. That was the first and last motor I run out of the box. I now always pull the head and jug, deck and Pre-Check, etc.

i ran 40:1 since day one and its been running great since. its been 2 years

[@jgbelmont]

Popular Mechanics did an article explaining the differences in using a lot of oil vs a little. There was actually very little difference. The piston wear was exactly the same. Yet the ring wear was slightly different. The compression was exactly the same. I run 32 to 1 from the day its born to the day it dies.

[@DonnyJS]

40:1 is the ratio 2 strokes have been using forever, I see 32:1 I just believe 40:1 was the original calculation to give you the best power and endurance ratio.

[@nikitamorozov1897]

50:1

[@jgbelmont]

@@nikitamorozov1897 Tiny pp like em dry.

[@nathanwest4670]

One thing I got to say about the compression ratio being exactly the same when running a richer oil mixture that may be true until the carbon buildup between your piston and your cylinder head starts, at which point your compression will go up. And if it continues to build up enough carbon it will eventually start contacting with your spark plug. So in my opinion, running a very rich oil ratio for a long period of time will eventually cause the compression to go up on your motor until you get a catastrophic failure or really need to rip into it to clean all the carbon out. I've seen this happen on cars with 4-stroke Motors that had a lot of of carbon build-up due to wearing rings causing "blow-by"

[@nathanwest4670]

​@@nikitamorozov1897I've Heard lots of people say that, I'm not brave enough to go. Lean. I'll stick with 32 to 1 and maybe go to 40 to 1 eventually. Right now on 24:1 cuz I'm still breaking the Motor In. But regardless of everyone's different opinions this is a great discussion because it's discussion that no one can really settle on. But it's good to see the different people's experiences with different oil ratios

[@nathanwest4670]

And the reason why the simple designed motor does work with mixed gas, like many two strokes. Is because it uses a needle bearing which does not require pressure in the crankcase to lubricate. Some two-stroke designs folr say dirt bikes, etc have a splash paddling the crankcase the sloshes the oil up into the cylinder area/crank. These motors are as simple as a two-stroke gets

[@SyberSqueegy]

Hi I also live in BC, (Delta) and have a Zeda YT 80/100 (I think) kit. Im rockin' a few performance / QOL aftermarket parts (stinger flex-pipe exhaust, reed-valve intake manifold, and spring-loaded chain tentioner) What im doing for my break-in period is/was a 16:1 "witches brew" of multiple 2stroke oils, conventional and synthetic blended together. only one 2 liters tank of this mix. after that (now at the time of this post) im running 25:1 for the next 8L. (this stuff is 1/2 the 16:1 mix from before and 1/2 a double-strength mix of "OPTI-2" oil. Once I run out of 16:1 to blend in with it, I'll go with just 50:1 OPTI-2 (normal mixing is 100:1 Believe it or not and it will not burn up old chainsaws running it) As it stands my engine is running quite rich. I hope I can break her out of this phase.

[@russbilzing5348]

I had an 80 (66) cc, maker unknown, that I ran on 50-1 for a almost two years as a daily driver. It hauled my 200+ lb. ass and large loads of groceries around just fine. Then, one day it missed a stroke and 'tinkled'. Luckily, it was only a few more blocks home. When I tore it down, I discovered that the wrist pin was DEEPLY scored and that had allowed 2 of the needle bearings to escape and do a high speed polka on the head and piston which broke the top ring, which scored the piston and everything nearby. Moral of the story; a higher ratio of oil to fuel is necessary if you are carrying higher loads. I don't think I am going to weigh less any time soon, so I am not going to run less than 40-1 from here on out. Maybe if Royal Purple made a 2 stroke oil...

[@atomicgoldrush]

I accidently broke my engine in using 80 to 1 and checked the cylinder walls and piston and almost no scoring at all! These things a beasts for being Chinna made

[@anthonyg6221]

I've ran used motor oil for 4,000 miles in my 66cc kit (Since new about 5 year ago) Around the 3,000 mile mark the spark plug gap started closing up. I found the wrist pin and wrist pin bearing were worn. I replaced the top end (with original cyclinder that I sanded by hand to break the glaze) and it's been fine since. I run a thicker mix, probably 32:1, but I'm not even scientific about it anymore. I'd bet I saved enough on oil to buy another 66cc kit. Never even fouled a spark plug.

[@DonnyJS]

You have to do it to give lubrication and helping the internals. Giving too much oil, even synthetic will provide the way too much build up inside the engine. 2 stroke engine setups have been rated 40:1 gas oil for a long time and is all it needs for break in. It is not going to soften the break in on the metals providing more oil. The real focus on breaking the engine in is to essentially caress and raise it. Small opening on the throttle and giving it different ranges, not keeping it at the same opening. What's happening is the allow is shaping, givin the amount of force around it. Keep fluctuating throttle, and work it up and she will give you a long life time with reg maintenance. Have a great day bro!

[@johnmcclain3887]

You made this on my last birthday, thanks!! That's good advice, and in truth, you can tell the quality of the burn, by the color of the spark plug. You can lean out the oil until it has a nice brown color on the inner electrode, you probably won't get away from some oily residue, but as long as it doesn't go white, you won't be too lean. A better carburetor can probably be found in a motorcycle junk yard. Thanks, it's good to see you diving into this, reminds me of many decades ago.

[@nathanwest4670]

Honestly I found the baofeng carburetor to be one of the best carburetors for these Motors. The only downside to it is it has that restrictive air box on it. Like the original poster did and like I did, drilling a couple of holes in the intake box definitely does not hurt. If you're lucky you'll be able to find one of those low-profile cone filters, that aren't K&N but it's basically the same idea, and there's your high-performance carburetor in my opinion. Because with these high performance carburetors what you're getting is something where you can play around with the Jets as well as eliminating that restricted airflow box which is the main thing. Take that box off your carburetor completely and you will feel a difference. However I wouldn't recommend running it like that for too long. So for me if I can't find one of those low profile cone filters that match to the factory bofang carb. Probably what I'll do is just hack the airbox, use high-quality vacuum hose, hose clamps, and mount the cone filter for the performance carburetor on it. And to me there's your performance carburetor. And if you find yourself really needing the change the Jets out for wide open throttle you can do that to the OEM Bofang. Myself I'm 500 to 1000 ft above sea level and I find the jet that's in the carburetor from the factory to be perfect. That is for my elevation. And talkin about spark plug colour yes the oil may change that but what you're looking for is an nice caramel like colour, regardless of what your oil to fuel mixture is. For example you could be running that ridiculous 16:1 and if you have the C clip on the needle to the leanest setting you will very quickly find out, if you don't blow your motor first, that you're going to get a very lean looking colour on your plug regardless of what you're running for oil ratios. I just want people to keep that in mind and not just think adjusting the oil ratio is going to correct air fuel ratio issues. Those are two different animals altogether. At my elevation using the OEM carburetor with a few holes drilled into the airbox, the clip on the needle set to the third Notch up, (basically right in the middle) works perfect for me. If I go one notch up it runs too lean, if I go one notch down it runs too rich. That 100% tells me that my jet size (70mm, I think) is bang on for the elevation that I'm at. Just something that people should keep in mind before spending money on a performance carburetor, trying to get more performance when there could be other issues causing performance loss. What everyone should do, Imho, is Get your factory one set perfect for your elevation before even thinking about a performance carburetor and like I said I don't you think they're necessary as long as you can get rid of that restrictive airbox and get a cone filter on it. Then that is your performance carburetor, provided your jet size is correct for your elevation. Again that it's just an opinion from educated as well as my personal experience. I would love to know other people's opinions on that🙏

See I just un-pause the video you run 32:1 I think that is a good ratio. And it's a great compromise between the 24:1 the factory reconends and the 40:1 alot of the old school guys swear by. I find 32:1 to be perfect. I run castrol "Go" low carbon deposit formula. Still not synthetic tho. Never run synthetic, imho. But I notice you your semi or full synthetic and you find you have no issues? Do you break in using synthetic oil as far as I know that's a No-No. But hey it worked for you man sweet. I do know this about synthetic oils though once you go synthetic you can't turn back on any motor. At first I was running ever-ready outboard motor oil and it works great. Me personally I'll stay away from the synthetics but if it works for you all the power to you my man

[@Codbeast101]

I’m using 8 ounces of oil per gallon of gas for the break in period, after the first 200 miles the manual actually says to start using 32:1 or 4 ounces of oil per gallon of gas. 200 miles is 1 gallon of gas or about 1.5 tanks as most of these bikes have 2.5 liter tanks. You’ll also want to tune the idle on your carburetor, and make sure to check the torque on your cylinder head bolts. It should be around 11, as that’s the standard for most of these bike motors. Don’t torque the head bolts more for higher pressure, it creates more strain on the bolts and creates the risk of sending a piston head right into your buttocks.

I know I've made a lot of comments already but another tip I want to toss in there, that I've learned as if you're the type person like me that will tear into these blocks and do a few things before starting them, then you'll have the opportunity to coat the crank in the cylinder walls with 2-stroke oil before reassembling and starting for the first time. In my opinion they helped us so I didn't have such a dry start on its first turnover

[@mercurad]

Hey just fyi 93/94 fuel shouldn't have any effect of carb cleanliness. Higher Octane rating just prevents misfires in high compression engines. You can run 87 just fine on the bike, higher Octane gives no benefit

[@Everatti]

You’re right - higher octane is unnecessary in these engines. Only reason I suggest them is because often higher octanes contain low or no ethanol. Ethanol is what kills is carb if it sits. Not 87 octane.

[@mercurad]

Huh. Thanks for your response! I just did a little Google dive and couldn't find a good answer about ethanol % in 87 vs 93 octane fuel. They keep saying it's 10 or 15%, but won't say which one is which lol. I think it varies by gas station and state? Anyways. Good luck with your bikes. Glad to have learned a little something.

More oil means higher viscosity which means it will change how it is jetted into the carb. Thicker liquid means not as much will get jetted into the carb, so it might actually not be getting enough oil even though you are using a strong oil/fuel mix.

One more comment I want to make a boat how you noticed a difference when you leaned the oil mixture out after your break-in. I wholeheartedly agree with you and I would say that's because you don't have a spark trying to fire off not just the fuel like it's supposed to but whole bunch of excess oil which is definitely like putting low-octane fuel in or adding a little bit of water to your fuel in other words your fule (high octane or not) will simply not burn as good as it has all that oil affecting how it flashes off. When it comes to the oil ratios you very much know what you're talkin about.

Go by people who know what they're doing these types of videos exist for a reason. Its us customers who do the quality control for these guys and figure things out where they went wrong.

Question, my gas scooter calls for 25:1, i believe that would be the break in period. After I can go 32:1 or 40:1. Now if I switch to 32:1 or 40:1 do I have to manually adjust the carburetor idle and fuel mix screws? If I wanted to do a weeks test for each mix and check the plugs for fouling, and do comparisons on temperatures with different fuel mix, isn't it important to adjust the carburetor each time to the correct fuel mix after it warms up??

[@Everatti]

Yes I would adjust the mix on the carburetor for each time you do that. Generally if your up jet or tube it richer, the idle will get lower. And down jet or tune leaner the idle will raise up. The rest you’ll have to tune based on your own scenario and desired outcome. Hope that helps

[@leonardarola]

40 to 1 since day one here.

[@seancliften9344]

He’s right I’ve been using Lucas 2 stroke oil for 5 years it’s the best on the market I can get a quart for $9.00 bucks and that’s it’s better than that other crap out there I’ve got a BT 80 electric start 2stroke for 2 years now same one daily driver I use a 36 to 1 mix no problem rpm’s are good a lot of hp , I’ve changed a few carbs out, electrical components on the BT 80 , muffler, a spark plug. But no damage in the engine inside.

[@russbilzing5348]

I had an 80 (66) cc, maker unknown, that I ran on 50-1 for a almost two years as a daily driver. It hauled my 200+ lb. ass and large loads of groceries around just fine. Then, one day it missed a stroke and 'tinkled'. Luckily, it was only a few more blocks home. When I tore it down, I discovered that the wrist pin was DEEPLY scored and that had allowed 2 of the needle bearings to escape and do a high speed polka on the head and piston which broke the top ring, which scored the piston and everything nearby. Moral of the story; a higher ratio of oil to fuel is necessary if you are carrying higher loads. I don't think I am going to weigh less any time soon, so I am not going to run less than 40-1 from here on out. Maybe if Royal Purple made a 2 stroke oil...

[@driftking_dg9619]

Dudeeee, i dont know if you will see this but thank you sooooo much. When i got my engine i was 13 (it was in the winter because i was bored) and in 2 months im 15... I was running 15:1 the whole time because the instructions said it and there was black oil every where also the cylinder head and all us complete full of oil. I thought maybe i had to much fuel and to low air, than i changed the fuelfilter and nothing helped... A few days ago my bike broke down and now i wanna build a gokart with the same engine. I collectet a lot of experience in the past two years and made an apprenticeship as an mechanic so maybe i could even try to supercharge it. My question is: if the motor will run aqain how do i change the mixture? Can i instant just go from 15:1 to 30:1 or do i have to do small "steps"?

[@Everatti]

Congrats on your apprenticeship! I’ve researched a bunch on these engines, I don’t think it’s possible to supercharge them, especially being two strokes. But definitely go ahead and try! And for your question, changing the mixture immediately is perfectly fine for it, it won’t hurt anything whatsoever. I’d go anywhere from 32:1 - 40:1, it’s up to you. If you get it running you’ll notice a massive power difference! And it smoke and leak a lot less than what it used to do. Hope that helps! - Everet

[@driftking_dg9619]

@@Everatti well, thanks very much for your answer. Aight, when its running again imma fuel it up with 32:1 and then ill try to supercharge it, but off course it wont be easy😅 Have a great day!

[@alanssnack1192]

yesterday i used a big 24mm carb with a big manifold, it was alright tbh! it started and idled nice, it was faster but power varied and was just unpredictable, fuel usage was good. it would not run with a air filter, it was not loud tho. then i fitted a cheap new 19mm slide carb, to my surprse it ran so rich it just spluttered and smoked, maybe something was wrong, i will check the jet size today, it should be #60. anyway, it seems the original carb is best so far!

[@Everatti]

Honestly, I agree. Although they aren’t Mikunis or anything, I think they’ve proven themselves well! Never ever had an issue with the NT speeds.

[@darinkrinovich2062]

Usually, manufacturers of the motors set it a little richer(more oil in gas) than it needs. They do it because if you run it too lean(less oil in gas) chances are greater that it'll blow-up.

[@Deacon656]

Great video, looking forward to more, you really explain well.

Stihl ultra hp oil at 40:1 works really good. Its what most model airplane guys use in 20-100cc 2 stroke gas engines made in china, seems to make them last the longest

[@jchollings4786]

Nice info man just built my first build its good to have info

[@nathanorr5850]

Your right. I got a cheap kit 3 yes ago and the manual actually said mix 50 to 1 after break in. That is a little lean so the 32 to 1 or 40 to 1 will still give you good running motor but won't Fri it either. I think they're saying 20 to 1 now cause people keep blowing there motors. You really need to be mechanically inclined and know how to treat these bikes for them to last and get the most out of them

[@slicaltimistic1]

😁First and foremost Everatti. You are so good breaking down on how to mix the fuel the right way. Excellent job. Im gonna run 40:1 on my new 100cc 2 stroke I'm putting in. Now it's my turn to school you on how to calculate your mpg. First of all you'll need a digital speedometer. Dont matter what kind. Next, Fill the gas all the way up. Now, set your distance, or range to zero. Do not mess with it until you ran out of gas. Now calculate the miles that you put on the bike. For example: if you do 70 on miles on full half of tank, (Actually it really is .60 gallon) do it just like this. 70÷.50=144. And there's you're m.p.g. (144 m.p.g.) Simple isn't it?

[@Everatti]

Thanks a lot! That’s a helpful tip. I’ll use that. I’ve actually got a digital speedometer on my bike, so that’ll work perfect!

[@slicaltimistic1]

@@Everatti Anytime 😁👍🏼

[@nathanhill6042]

50 to 1 will make more power and is far from hurting the bike u can run 100 to 1 with amsoil and I know a lot of people who do for chainsaws and they keep them tapped out for long periods of time while milling and bucking big logs

[@Everatti]

Although I think these would run on 50:1, I don’t think it’s good for them long term. They are very horribly machined and manufactured engines and they need every fighting chance to run for a very long time. I wouldn’t run anything leaner than 40:1 on these engines. The performance difference between 40 and 50:1 is going to be very negligible but most likely shorten your engine’s life long term.

[@noelescribano6821]

Thank you 32 to 1 on a 80 cc I got a aluminum trek I'm trying to find out how to make it faster

[@matthewhayward846]

I was taught spark plugs are cheaper than motors and smoke keeps the bugs away. I run them rich and it has paid off for me.

[@nafadadawg]

My first tank (technically second because I added way too much oil) Im doing 24:1 for the break in

[@artofdisguy3401]

High octane, no methanol ( methanol eats up the lubrication properties of the mix oil fast it can drop 10 points overnight, so a mix of 40:1, can go to 50:1 so avoid methanol blends, plus it gums up carbs), Redline Racing Smokeless low sulfer synthetic, mix, 20: 1 to break in for a tank, then up to 40:1 Then let R rip tater chip

[@Jarrod_D]

I run 20:1 used motor oil like comrade Stalin suggested. The Soviets thought of everything. 👍

[@waatao9856]

how long do these engines last for if maintained properly? and whats the top speed on these? and how much km do you get out of a full tank of fuel?

[@Everatti]

They’ll last years if you take care of them honestly. General maintenance items like clutch pads, cdi, spark plugs ect will need to be replaced eventually, but again, the kit as a whole should last years. A completely stock engine with stock gearing (44 tooth sprocket) will do about 45 km/h (~28 mph). And you can get around 70-75 kms (~43-46 miles) on a full tank of gas on average.

[@waatao9856]

[@SamZStuff]

So to me the reason the manufacturer wants you to use really heavy oil at first is because the engines are full of burrs dirt and metal chips and with the excess oil it's should help clean it out without too much damage. Atleast that's what I think the manufacturer thinks.lol

[@user-dn5zb7se8z]

Did you change the C- Clip in the carburetor when you started using a leaner mix? I think that's a necessary step you left out.

[@Everatti]

Nope I didn’t actually! The clip from the factory was 1 down, and it was too rich. After doing mods to it, it actually runs perfect now! I’ve even got the plug heat range dialled. Good point though, probably should have mentioned something about that

[@daltenmorris5072]

Honestly I came here for tips but I broke mine in at 32:1 cause someone said break it in 40:1 whole life take it super easy for the first few tanks I was scared of that so I did 32:1 notice oil coming out a tad bit which I know it’s going to happen ive done carb adjustment and still got carbon build up maybe I should go to 40:1 I’m slowly moving this thing

[@Everatti]

Great! Just remember to use a nice quality oil and you'll be all good.

[@Everatti]

I’m planning on running 40:1 on the next tank as well. 32:1 seems a tad rich still. You’ll be all good!

Could you use 50-1 on these bikes. All my 2 stroke engines use it wondering if it’s safe to put that mix on it

[@Everatti]

Hey there. I’m sure you could use 50:1 but in my opinion it’s a little lean. I personally would stick to 40:1 or less. I’m sure it would run, but in the long run you might prematurely wear your engine from the lack of oil lubrication

[@Thebuffalobrief]

hey man, so i recently just finished building my 2 stroke 80cc bike and i put in what the manuel sugested aka 16:1 for the break in period. I noticed that it eats up a whole tank in under 30 miles, do you know what it does that, also I ordered a smaller sprocket so the rpms will go down when i go 35mph

[@Everatti]

That’s probably just how much fuel the thing uses. Once you lean it out it might use less.

[@cb175s]

[@tyronewatermelonedaiii2842]

Hey I ran my bike that im just breaking in with the gas off on accident and it sputtered out and died after 10 mins of riding and after that i turned the fuel on and the bike started fine but feels like acceleration isn't as good but I may be overthinking it because I still reach top speed I recorded earlier. When someone does that to their bike on accident does it usually make a problem occur or do you think im just imagining things thinking the acceleration is worse? I tend to overthink things lol

[@Everatti]

You might be overthinking it haha. I wouldn’t worry about it, I’ve ran out of gas before and it’s fine. No problems would occur unless you repeatedly tried to start it with no fuel and gas mixture to lubricate the cylinder and piston.
