It ALSO used to say (use 10-W-30 motor oil) :laugh:
I usually just mix my gas and oil 32:1 in one big assed can and run anything I have with it.. 32:1 is good and thick, where you're not burning up OLD shit, because most all my stuff is 1974 MCculloch chainsaws or whatever...
But you can dump it in a 2013 honda weedwhacker and not plug up it's bunghole...

Go to the motor cycle shop. Buy some full synthetic 2 stroke oil tell the guy its going in a gas tank not oil injector. usually has the ratios on the back of the bottle. look for 50:1 mix oil. If the engine has been sitting for a long time mix at 32:1 later you can go 40:1 if you want. Also measure correctly, and shake it up good.
Sad Hodaka loss...
You guys will be sad to know that my best friend, who lives in ME, had his welding/fabrication/machine shop, burn to the ground in Feb. Along the 100's of thousands in equipment, tools and many motorcycles lost, were a clean Hodaka Wombat, a clean Super Rat, a Super Rat roller and a rare Road Toad roller. Also lost was a factory-fresh Suoer Rat motor with the tags still on it. Never mounted, never started. He found the whole package in a woman's basement, just last summer, for $250! Unfortunately, the fire got so hot, all that was left ofany of the bikes, were hardened puddles of molten aluminum and steel... Even the front of his box van and the rear of his Airstream trailer, melted off... lost everything. He ran 40:1 synthetic in both the Wombat and the Super Rat.

Most 2 strokes burn up from leaks in the gaskets like crank seals or a head gaskets from a warped head then fuel mixture. The motors run fine at lower RPM,s and is only sucking in alittle bit extra unmetered air. Then you want to open it up and wind out the gears shift at 8k and the motor sucks in to much air from the seals ( old or just worn out ) and leans out the motor and there goes your piston.
A good running engine wont foul at 32:1. I use to run a full synthetic two stroke Amsoil at 100:1 in all my bikes but that is what was recommended by the oil. I am running a hodaka at 32:1 with a 50:1 max synthetic with no issues. Plug dark brown. not all synthetics are equal. You have to go by the oil recommendations.
