OK, so maybe I don't always know...

Well then, if you're lookin to argue... I'll stir the pot a lil bit...so I heard the new bias ply tires are being made from a synthetic oil base.....

We all know the EPA recommends radials

Well... better fuel mileage does reduce overall emissions.
'Course... fuel mileage falls in the crapper when them loaded-up radials are just spinnin' in the slop

yeah and the bias aint worth a hoot on a wet road haha.

You're running it at twice the rpm...

Yes Mike,he should surely be running that cart at way less than 80:1.The 2 strokers I deal with that have oil injection vary the mix from around 100:1 at idle to around 50:1 +or- at full throttle.On my own oil injected sled I jacked up the linkage a bit so I'm a little richer all the way through the RPM range.It will smoke a little on a cold start but once fully warmed up it's fine and takeing a look at the plug I'm not seeing any oil fouling.

I have to make a correction to a couple earlier statements about the fuel/oil ratio recommended for my '74 Harley Golf Car...

I just looked at the service manual again, it says...

• 1965-1968... mix 5 ounces Harley-Davidson Two Cycle Oil (whatever that is/was) to 1 gallon gasoline (25:1).
• 1969-1972... mix 1.5 ounces Harley-Davidson Golf Car Lubricant (whatever that is/was) to 1 gallon gasoline (85:1), or 2.5 ounces non-detergent S.A.E. 40w per gallon of gasoline (50:1).
• Tank cap on steel tank has an oil measuring cup that holds 2.5 liquid ounces (which my 1974 has, but the measuring cup got broken off). Add one full cap (oil unspecified, but I'm assuming Harley-Davidson Golf Car Lubricant) for every 1.6 gallons of gasoline (82:1).

In any event, I've never run anything less than 50:1 in it... but I do run the first tank with a new piston at 35:1 or so (guess 'n' by-gosh method). If the thing calls for 82:1 using some 1974 Harley-Davidson Golf Car Lubricant (whatever that is/was), I just gotta' believe a modern, full-synthetic at 50:1 (and labeled to be pre-mixed 50:1) is plenty of oil... even at near twice the intended RPM (which still ain't all that high).

I dislike AMSoil, as I've heard too many bad things about it. The short, it's too slippery, and I know people that rebuilt and used it and ruined fresh rebuilt motors because of that oil. I'll use a different brand. I prefer regular 2 stroke oil till break in is done, then I'll switch, so things seat properly as they should. My $.02.

You need to run a conventional oil during break in so the parts will seat together.
After break in you can use full synthetic.
Some motors with clutches cant use synthetic oils in there crank cases because it will make the clutches slip too much. (not good)
