The Great 'how Much Oil' Question !

[gjbiker]

Poor old Angusgill ! He asked a question that raises its head quite frequently and started a riot (well not really a riot, I like to exagerate). It actually made very good reading but slightly deviated from the original question; How much 2 stroke oil do I mix in with my petrol and what type of petrol ?

Anyhooz, for future reference please participate in this poll.

Many thanks

GJ

P.S. This was my sons idea so no nasty comments please. He has feelings, unlike his father !

I feel so special to be the first to vote.

Good Idea to just do a poll might reduce all the "comments" and "gospel" I mean opinions.

Surprised that so many already saying they use standard unleaded. Mine really does run noticeably worse on standard unleaded, and even starts it 'pinking'.

Hey ! I wasn't trying to pull you guys apart ! Honest

I was just being a bit of a smart and also trying to state what a good idea just a simple poll is to find out what everybody is using. I really thought it a good idea.

I live in the flatlands so I need a high octane fuel, but when I go up in the mountains I use pump gas.

No worries Zippy, my sarcasm doesn't quite translate to text very well ! Thanks for the compliment, I'll pass it on to the youth who will no doubt grunt like a 15yr old does and say something like ' what's for tea?' or 'can I have a fiver to buy.......' !

P.S. Good results so far, keep 'em coming. It's quite a close battle, more stats needed for a landslide victory though !

Nice idea Gav, you feet dry or feet wet at the mo????? you have way too much time on your hands matey

I set my carburation up on Soooper Unleaded and it really does go like a pile of crap when I put unleaded in it, (last time I ask HER to get me 5l of petrol.....), the old mans is the opposite, I set his up with standard unleaded it goes like crap with sooooper.

Wet feet mate That explains having too much time on my hands eh ?

Poll seems to be working pretty well, quite pleased with the results so far. I set up the Gasser carb with the cheap stuff but I might treat my new addition to the family (4rt) to Sooooper dooooper unleaded (Any comments Montesa fans ?). Saying that, dunno if I'll keep it ? It's like going from a four pot to a V twin, might take a bit of gettin used to ?

Sorry, I digress.......... on with the poll

90 votes, another 10 and we're there..........
