Which book says this? Just curious. My G1 service manual says 150:1 mix at max power with the oil injection system.

I run 50:1 yamalube

Alot of people run Yamalube, must be good stuff. You get any smoking at that ratio? Does the tailpipe drip black?

it smokes a little bit but dont care cause I live in country so no one *******. I havent really noticed tailpipe dripping. The extra smoke doesnt bother me I love that smell. I also run a rotax powered snowmobile.

Slonomo is correct, higher octane fuel burns slower not hotter, ask any hot rod engine builder they will tell ya, slower burning fuel meens you can advance engine timing. Automobiles have a "knock" sensor in the engine block, whatever fuel you buy the computer adjust timing. your cart will run stronger on 87 octane because it burns faster than 92-94 octane. As a antique tractor puller, we all run 87 octane fuel to get the most out of our 50-75 year old engines.

Sorry but i wont comment on oil mix ratio, everytime i say what you should run, everybody comments on what they run or what the book says, its like politics everybody has there opinion, the only thing I can tell ya is more oil is better lubing and longer engine life, if you want more power and shorter engine life thin`er out

I hear ya brother! It's all good. We won't hold you to anything. I'm just curious what the range of ratios people run. I also would never tell anyone "what they should run" because who am I to tell anyone what to do, right? I will, however, share my experiences, even if it's just for entertainment value LOL....
