    I put pre-mix in my 350x for its first start up in God knows how many years. No smoke and it smells good to boot.

    i have heard of a Harley mechanic running a half tank or so of mixed gas when he first gets done with a rebuild. not a bad idea, all a harley is, is a tractor motor anyway. lol

    I run no cat on my 2005 xb, and I've been known to drop a little klotz in it from time to time. Same for my Polaris 800.

    My 300 used to see a 70:1 ratio and was jetted for it. Depending upon which oil you use it van help stop a carb from gumming up.

    Now if they were running 32:1 with stock jetting, I'd be a little worried. That's a difference of 3% or so on the main, might not sound like much, but hondas are jetted lean into the midrange anyways in my experience.

    hmm, most two stokes will live on 100:1 so maybe its not a bad idea to run a new over haul eng maybe 200:1 ?
