I turned up my oil pump 4.5 turns right from the start. I wanted to start rich and work down. At that setting I burn 32 to 1 from the oil bottle average on a ride (more at wide open and less a low throttle).
It stayed there because that's what I wanted to settle at from that part of the lubrication system.
In the fuel I add 100 to 1 which brings my overall ratio to 25 to 1 average. I'm very happy there because I want 20 to1 at wide open and 32 to 1 at part throttle.
I've used a semi-syn inexpensive oil for decades (basically Yamalube bottled by the original supplier Esso or Mobil now I think). It is not the cleanest oil out there today but why screw with a good thing.
My reason for posting this is that some people still believe it is the oil or ratio that fouls plugs or carbons things up. That's so old school, like 20 to 30 years too late. Nobody pours 30wt engine oil into their oil tank any more (about what you got in a two stroke oil from the 70's).
About the late 80's any oil in a rich enough mixture provided the protection and burned off well.
It's the jetting (fuel management) that`s will give you these issues (very rare today though with EFI). If your too rich your combustion temps are low and the flash point of the oil can become an issue. Any oil at any ratio.
Plug fouling (fairly rare today) or excessive carbon build up (not so rare today) can be eliminated with jetting with todays oils at any mixture ratio.
Don`t blame it on the oil. The oil is your engines best friend lol.
Little tip for only those that monitor their engines. Drop to an 8 plug from the excessively safe 9 and watch the plug and piston top change to that nice two stroke brown.
Again only for those that watch the plugs and wash.
