Thread: I'll bet next time

Why not just do it the "old timey way" and mix the gas and oil when you put it in. I ain't believing that you would rather rely on a couple of wires and some electricity, I guess 5 volts every 2 revolutions to be exact ( you gewber), than mix it correctly on the front end. It takes 1 extra minute to mix it yourself and can remove a whole lotta headaches later, or at least 1 PO'ed wife and a fishing buddies ankle.Doh

I took the oiler off the 150 Yammie when I got it years ago and just mix it myself. I was worried the oiler would stop one day, and with my luck the engine would lock up 10 miles downriver.

SAY IT, come on now SAY IT. DD was right

I mix it straight in now since mine went out on me. I feel ALOT safer with it

Do you buy the same amount of gas each time?

One problem with pre-mix is it's getting the same mix no matter the operating condition. Teh auto oiler is variable. Running 50 to 1 at all rpms and all atmospheric conditions leads to buildup on the rings and kablooeys. Most kablooeys are caused from sticking rings and not oiler failures.

OK, OK DD.

DD was not incredibly wrong and unbelievably stewpit with his reply.

There....ya happy now?

Wannabe...

close enough Brotha. Minner NO, I don;t but I measure it carefully based on the ammount of gas I put in. Course then I have to add Stabil and every 4th tank I put Sea foam in
