There is a thread going on another board I frequent dealing with 2 stroke oils. There is a differing of opinion so I thought I'd pose the question here.
Say I run a 2 stroke atv at 50:1 premix and jet the carb acordingly, if I switch to a 32:1 premix with another type of oil, will I be running leaner in the engine since I've reduced the actual amount of fuel going in in relation to the oil? In the gas can, more oil = richer, but the question is, when it goes in the engine does this richer oil ratio actually lean out the engine? And, does modern synthetic 2 stroke oil contribute, or diminish from the btu of the exploding fuel/air mixture inside the cylinder?
Here's a link to the thread: thread in question
I figured the guys on this board would know. If we get some good, factual info, I'm link the other thread into this one so my pals on the other board can take a look. Chris
