Ok guys, need to ask....

Getting close to the first start up. So I want to run some pre- mix fuel to allow all the omp lines to fill up and the rest of the oil to do it's thing.

Can anyone recommend a good ratio..... millilitres of oil to litre of fuel.

Mmmm. So your omp lines need priming? Mmmm.
I put in 250ml per 60l of fuel...but fresh engine and you need to get it to all bed in...so im not 100% what a good ratio would be.
Track use i went upto 400ml.  Per tank.

Wow, first startup  :P

Yep, I'd go for the equivalent of 400ml per 60 litre tankful.

That's a ratio of 150:1

Two stroke bikes ran on 50:1 but then they smoked like hell lol

and had to lubricate main bearings too.

I guess I'm only lubricating seals while the assembly lube and Vaseline burns off and the omp lines start doing their thing

Mr Spiller

There's a guide somewhere , a how to fit a sign adaptor
It mentions blocking one of the breather pipes which go into the accordion so it sucks the 2 stoke through faster
Cars looking epic buddy
