can some one help please?

OK, i'll make a generalisation here.

Usually, trials bikes with air cooled engines were recommended to run at around 50:1 by the manufacturers, this was using mineral 2 stroke oil.

These days, superior fully synthetic oil is easily available and cheap, personally i like to use fully synthetic oil at about 65:1 on air cooled engines.

I have used shell advance, and putoline synthetic oil in my air cooled engines for many years with no problems.
