Thread: 213:1 mix on 2T

Husky 125 has an autolube (oil injection)? My buddy that ran the 213:1 mix put another 80 miles on the bike this past weekend. That's almost 200 miles since the low mix incident. Engine is still together and running strong. I can't believe it. Can't really tell if a bearing is going since his kawasaki 200 normally make so much more engine noise than our Huskys. How much time will an engine have once a main bearing failure is...

"He ran the machine another 100 miles to complete the weekend ride and it ran normal" On the same gas? you've got a brave riding buddy if so.

Yes, he probably took some life out of his crank bearings. Interesting to know that it still runs fine.

I'm guessing there's problems right around the corner. I like Amsoil too. But it ain't that good.

Just out of curiosity, how did he come to the realization after 20 miles that he'd made the mistake? Was it running different or?

I run amsoil at 28:1 in my RM 250 and my bike doesnt smoke once warm...

If the machine let's go in the next few rides,...

213:1 sounds like the ratio a guy I knew once ran in his YZ250... I saw him at a gas station after getting it and he said "with these two-strokes you gotta mix the gas and oil, I heard 3 capfuls works fine" and proceeds to dump 3 caps worth of oil into the full tank on his bike... Funny that I saw him riding his dad's XR600 after that fateful day.

i once used about 70:1 mix for about 30 miles on my husky 125 it ran ok and all but smoked like shit, now im back to using the auto lube system, but ever since theres been somewhat of a rattle coming from the engine and im not sure if its the crank bearing or the clutch basket rattling, when ticking over the engine will rattle but if you pull the clutch the rattle will go so i think its the clutch basket although i could be wrong?
