So after being schooled on the correct mixture for my 'Zilla,
I'm curious what y'all are running in your 250s.
I run my zilla at 28:1 and my 250s at 32:1
I mixed this 32:1 and it just seems awfully smokey
I run my zilla at 28:1 and my 250s at 32:1
Same here. They are 2 stroke engines. They are supposed to smoke.
What size jets are you running
Whatever they came with. Both of them run stock air box with an FMF. One is getting the FMF changed for a stocker. What jets should I be running?
i run 32:1 in my 500 motors and neither smoke that much.
32:1 for my 250. And yea, they smoke...they burn oil.
They smoke less ( a little) after you get them all warmed up and reved through the gears to "clean it out" If you are out for a family ride you dont need as much oil. But if your wide open 6,8,10 seconds you need more. Impractical to switch back and forth and can affect jetting as well so I usually run 32:1 for most of my riding and yes it will smoke but thats fine. If i am going to be hammering it hard wide at the dunes i will go 24:1. IF you get you a good castor bean oil and stand behind the exhaust while it idles a while you can close your eyes the next day and think your riding again by the smell all over your clothes. My wife says I stink,, I just call it "MY 2 -Stroke MUSK"
Thanks for the help guys, I don't want to take it for a ride and blow it up after one hard ride
With no power valve to gum up you can mix it a little on the heavier side with no worries. I mix this one at about 30:1 sometimes it gets a tad more oil. 4 oz in a gallon jug and plenty of room to mix it up. It is probably 28:1. Man you have a couple of fun bikes!
32/1 with 110 renegade and 927, 500s and 250s. If you don't know, Renegade is what used to be Torco fuels. Sunoco is the best though.
wtf oil are you running? Smokes like golden spectro or some other old cheap oil.
I've got mine mixed 25:1 with Sunoco 112 and amsoil dominator synthetic. Don't know how bad it smokes cause I still haven't started it for the first time. Doing 25:1 though cause ill primarily be drag racing.
I pour 16oz in 5 gallons of fuel for 40:1
i mix mine at 24:1 with alky at five gallons at a time. it barely smokes.

Advance Auto Parts special oil
I run 32:1 in 500 and 250.
I guess I am the only one here that runs Amsoil Dominator 50:1 with 110.
I run Dominator 40:1 with AVGAS. 500 Fanatic built my engines. He recommends Dominator at 50:1. I just feel better with a little more oil.
Bell Ray MC1 at 50:1. Crazy? Maybe, but no problems in 25 years.
I ran mc-1 at 50:1 in my 250 for 20+ years. No problems there either.
Man that OP,s bike really smokes.
32:1 Golden Spectro is what I run in ALL my 2-strokes. I enjoy not having to rering for 13 years.
