[QUOTE="Patman, post: 1362800, member: 16962"] It seems like a lot of folks confused the gas/oil ratio and the air fuel ratio just like Indy has pointed out. I previously ran 50:1 when I had a KTM360 but when my son started riding a 2 stroke I knew he needed a bit more lube in the gas so I re-jetted my bike so that we could both use 32:1 fuel and that's pretty much where we run his 125 to this day. A little extra oil isn't going to cause any issue and will help protect things better plus give some better sealing. Rich has done some research on this at ratios in the 16:1 & 20:1 range I believe. All the same setting the carb up for a proper air / fuel ratio WILL cure your problems, messing with the oil ratio to fix a carb tuning issue is not the way to properly fix it. The guys at your shop seem to be lacking in real knowledge so I would no let them anywhere near my bike. If you are lazy like me the James Dean Carb kit is a great way to get your bike dialed in really well. It sure ain't cheap but it takes a lot of the guess work out of things. [/QUOTE]
