What fuel/oil ratio should I run

[DAMIEN1307]

We have one station near me but it's a old looking pump far away from there other pumps I think it mechanical display ?

You may well find that is a kerosine pump...Many stations back east still have them for people who run kerosine stoves etc.

It said non ethanol if I recall . I to thought it was kerosene when I was looking for kerosene for my old timey petromax lantern . Btw do you think it will be ok to run a few gallons of normal ethanol fuel?

I personally do not, and never will, recommend it under any circumstances, but thats just me...lol.

You can run it, but be warned that a lot of the rubber in these kits and on these engines aren't the right kind to resist the drying out and cracking caused by exposure to the ethanol. On top of that, uncoated brass and aluminum slowly oxidize when exposed to it causing some long term issues. The carbs are cheap enough to replace at least. Just be aware of the potential issues. Most of all, do not let the carb sit with fuel in it for too long. Drain the bowl if it will be more than a couple of days before you ride again when running gas that has ethanol in it.

Dang ty for heads up when this fuel is gone I'll go with non ethanol

Was already to go non ethanol till I saw the price 5 bucks a gallon. I'll just replace gaskets and carb lol.

Hey, look at it this way, "Where can you have so much fun for 5 bucks?" A fun little machine that you built deserves the best.

True back in the days I used to only burn amoco white gas

 

[ImpulseRocket89]

the difference between the ethanol and non-ethanol regular around me is only about 60 cents a gallon. 60 cents is nothing

 

[ismellnownlatters]

You wrong it isn't 60 cents at least here it isnt
