Hey SEG, I got my regulator installed today, and a 60watt bulb in the headlight, so thats all dealt with finally. But the machine is very low with gas, and its pumping out a lot of white smoke, but is still running absolutely amazing, all of which is my fault with my infamous oil mixing, I was wondering if you remember the mixture I need in that, was it 20:1? And does white smoke mean too much oil?

40:1 (2.8 oz of oil per gallon) is the mix for you. That should get rid of some of the smoke.

Awesome man, good luck riding tomorrow. I know this is repetative, but just want to do this right. What kind of oil should I go buy tonight

SEG will prolly tell you Klotz.

72TNTSkidoo · 02-11-2006, 04:16 PM

Well with this particular machine I think we decided it wasnt best for it, maybe on his tho it makes sense

SnowRida · 02-11-2006, 04:20 PM

Then use Amsoil, you can't go wrong.

72TNTSkidoo · 02-11-2006, 04:23 PM

alrighty

**smallengineguy** · 02-12-2006, 07:40 AM

Use Dino oil, like Castrol 2 stroke. It's not injected, etc. so that'll be fine.

72TNTSkidoo · 02-12-2006, 09:10 AM

Okay, where can find this stuff. When ever I go to these sotores, all they have is regulator 2-stoke outboard marine oil. But I will look harder. I picked some stuff up last night, it said it was for fan cooled engines, and was meant to be be pre mixed, so I think thats ok right?

**smallengineguy** · 02-12-2006, 09:39 AM

Yeah, VIP has that Castrol oil. Snowing there? Snowing sideways here right now....

Gadex1000 · 02-12-2006, 09:46 AM

Amsoil Intercepter oil is good thats what I use and alot cheaper than my Doo stinky oil....Klotz is good too...Oh yeah it`s snow heavey here

72TNTSkidoo · 02-12-2006, 10:34 AM

yeah these coastal heavy bands are starting to pick up, about a foot still is what there calling, but looks like the places that dont need or want it are getting it. But theres always a few people in those remote areas that appreciate it. Suppose to get mild tho end of the week, better take advantage. But ur saying I can mix Klotz with the TNT? U guys must eb like what is ur thing with this oil, but if u screw it onece, u dont get a good ride for like weeks.
