Oil used per gallon of fuel?

Post by jk50 »

Anyone figured out how much oil per gallon a buddy 50 uses? I think it might run the equivalent of 25 to 32-1

Do you mean the mix ratio should you go pre-mix or basically how many tanks of fuel before the low oil light starts to flicker during slow down? If I recall my Zuma would do 6 full tanks of fuel before I would top it up again. I also think that it didn't hold a whole bottle either, when topping up from the flashing light at slow down. Always a bit left over to go toward the following 2-stroke oil top up.

I don't remember any tech data on what the oil pump gear is supposed to supply at any given rpm. If it was listed I've never seen it.

Your making me want a 2-stroke again....

I have only tried once to see how much oil is used. Topped off the oil tank, rode about 18 miles, 1 ounce to top off again. I believe the scooter is getting about 70 mpg… 4 days riding to work would be 1 gallon so, 4 ounces per gallon, that’s 32-1

I mean, pre mix equivalent, how much does the oil injection use.

I definitely have more than enough 2 cycle oil on the shelf. 2 gallons would be good for almost 5,000 miles
