ok now youve opened it up again..........................i remember back in the late 70s when there were constantly 1000s of recalls every week from ALL bike manufactureres due to pumps failing week in ,week out ,it cost them soooo much warranty money that they junked pumps and told owners to just premix thus solving a problem that not one manufacturer could solve but ALL the back street heros knew the answer to!all this after spending $1000s on r&d for years......................you couldnt make it up ,..........................................or could you ????

40:1 or 50:1 depending on whether you use semi or fully synthetic I believe.
