Fuel / oil mixtures

Post by RICKZ »

What's a good fuel / oil mixture to use in my 76-78 Cyclones and 79 Trailfire ? With the better oil quality nowadays compared to when these sleds were produced, I am thinking I could use something different.

50 : 1 premixed with premium fuel is what is used by most of the guys I hang with. If you ask which oil, you will get a different opinion from most everybody you ask.
