📋 Materials Needed:
2-Stroke Engine Oil: Specific to your engine's requirements.
Unleaded Gasoline: Fresh and clean, with the correct octane rating.
Mixing Container: Clean and suitable for fuel mixing.
Measuring Tools: For accurate oil measurement (graduated cylinder or measuring cup).
Funnel: To avoid spills while pouring fuel.
🚨 Safety Tips:
Always mix fuel in a well-ventilated area.

Great video. I run 40:1 never an issue. I have the same oil mixer works great. Keep up the videos
Will you ever do a carb video too like how to get good jetting and not running to lean or rich
We have been trying to plan a video on carb adjustment and setup. How to setup and jet your carb
@@Dirtbikerepairthis would be great if you could also show where to buy jets/ needles and everything else you need. Also if you could show what a lean and rich running bike sounds like
@@smward1126 I will try and get that video up on the channel sooner then later. thanks for the input on what people are looking for, and what kind of videos you guys want to see.
40:1 Yamalube synthetic has always treated me right for stock compression motors. Unfortunately here in Arizona we only have 91 pump available so anything with even slightly higher than stock compression I shoot up to a small airport a couple miles from me and mix 100LL Avgas and half pump to bump octane to about 96 and it's affordable. Av right now is about $6 a gal.
I have mixed Avgas with high test here before.. best fuel we can get at a pump here in Ontario Canada is 94. And Avgas is running around $3.00/L (about 5L/G) so it’s definitely more affordable then running race fuel at $10/L Yammalube is really good oil.. I think the important part is running the best fuel oil mix you can afford.
Thanks for the comment and for watching as always
How many ounces or Canada units for 5 gallon of fuel?
That would depend on what you are mixing at for example 5 gallon but for easy math I’m going to use 20L mixed at 40:1 = 20L of fuel 500ml of oil
32:1 = 16L of fuel 500ml of oil
That’s really what you can mix in a 5g fuel can
So, where's the ride video? This build is not complete and anticlimactic until we see the bike ripping!
Still waiting on a few parts to finally come in for Project 93, then we will do a start up video so we can all see it run for the first time together. We will definitely be putting out a video of all the things we went through in this build along with a bunch of footage of the bike hopefully ripping up the trails and track.
