What is the most appropriate gas to oil mix for a Vintage Chrysler/West Bend 820 engine?
This particular Chrysler/West Bend mini bike application calls for a 1/2 pint oil for every 1 gallon gas. (1/2 pint = 8 fl oz). So, I added 16 ounces of Spectro 2 cycle oil in a 2 gallon gas can of 91 non-oxy fuel. Upon using this fuel mixture I have found there to be an abundance of oil/fuel coming from the exhaust(too much!!). The amount of smoke created is also significant. I realize this is the nature of 2 stroke engines, but the amount of unburned fuel coming from the exhaust leads me to believe the fuel mixture can be adjusted to use a significantly less amount of oil.
I have read another 820 document that said to use 1/3 pint oil for every 1 gallon gas(24:1), which is less oil than currently running and means I can reduce the amount of oil some....but how much?
I simply want it to not leak oil from the exhaust, smoke less, and still be a safe ratio for engine longevity.
Does anyone have first hand experience on the best fuel mix for these engines?
