reassurance on autolube and/or premix
Posted: 23 Jan 2012, 05:28
sorry to bombard this place with soooo many questions -
I read this locked thread on premix and autolube here..
basically I had the bike a week - only done 300Km on it so far - ( into 3rd tank of gas)
dont feel confident on the info I was told by the people who sold it me. (they didnt speak english and my chinese is OK - but a bit basic in terms of technical terms )
the gist of what I understood was I should put oil in the autolube ( need to use a funnel - he explained to me.. )
and he said I SHOULD also add oil in as premix - he said 50ml of oil to full tank of gas - i asked him why and he said it was "better"
( looks like 10 liters? attempting maths - thats err 200:1 ) ( 1 liter = 1000 mL so 10,000 / 50 = 200???)
premix I read was 40:1 to 50 :1 - so in 10 liters of fuel that would be? _________ ( please fill in the blanks?!)
what I will say is that I do have a bit of oily residue on my exhaust outlet...
bike also kicks alot of white smoke out when just started..
so I'm wondering why he's telling me to put oil in both the autolube and do the premix.
concerned of course as too little oil could be very expensive - seize - too much and we're fouling the plugs.. ( have to confess I last ran 2 stroke in 1986! cant remember bugger all about the mix amounts!
