Hello;

Been off my bike for a coupla years - ow! my knees - my back !

Was up at the Scottish and bought a new pair of Hebo's last year. Had to break them in....

Anyway, the auld Pinkie still runs but I've had a senior moment.

I can't remember what the bloody mix is !

I thought 25:1 My mate reckons it's something daft like 30'ish :1

elsewhere on the 'net I've seen 50:1 mentioned.

But the chainsaw runs 50:1 and I reckoned the Yam engine would need a damn sight more lubing than a chainsaw !

I don't remember ever using my chainsaw mix......So here I am.

One thing is fer sure : I'm running too lean at 25:1 Whit a reek !

Mind you the pinky still runs fine on the nadgeries I was practicing on.

Dunno if it would like to be opened right out in a third gear hillclimb though......

So i'm off to see if anyone has posted a mix for the TY250 - Thanks for the forums (fora?)

Oh, If anyone needs it - I've got a sheet of paper with voltage readout's, timing spe'cs, reed valve clearances, CDI wiring guide etc..

Just no bloody mix ratio..... "why would I write it down, I'ts not like I'd forget....."

Cheers !

Ha! I've just remembered ! it was 25ml to the litre which is erm..... 40:1 - though seems the general consensus is even that is too lean. (yes lean)

(What a great forum discussing mixing ratios - I near wet myself ! )
