I need some recommendations for fuel for my Zenoah 260 PUM on my thunderboat. Nooby here. Do I take one gallon of 93 octane non-alcohol fuel and add 2 stroke oil? How much oil do I add to a gallon of gas?
But my oil is Mercury O/B synthetic oil.I take 1 gallon Coleman or Crown camp light fuel and add 10 ounces of Red Line 2 stroke oil.
No nasty smell in the car
100:1!Any good 2 cycle oil and mix it at the OIL manufacturers recommendations. what ever the bottle tells you to.
after all it is a chain saw/weed eater motor.
yea we not cutting grass, it needs 8-10 oz to a gallonA lot of testing has been done. For our engines 8-10 oz per gallon is the norm. I personally run 10 oz to 100 oz of fuel. Regular non ethanol unleaded or camp fuel. Running what the oil manufacturer says will burn up parts. Cylinder seal will increase with more oil. Then it becomes a matter of keeping the rod bearing alive. We are stressing these things way beyond design limits.
I was thinking the aviation gas has no smell, right?50% Coleman camp fuel, 50% 110 octane low lead aviation gas and 8oz. of a good quality oil per gallon. Rock solid performance and no smell. If it's a new motor don't run synthetic oil until you've put at least 2 gallons of fuel thru the it.
