I have pocket bike and the instructions say to mix 2 cycle oil with gasoline at 25-30 to 1?

Question:
So the guy at NAPA sells me some 2 cycle oil that is good for up to 1 gallon of gas......he also says that it mix's at a ratio of 50 to 1. If my pocket bike says 25 -30 to 1 will it hurt the engine by using a 50 to 1 mix? I want to be sure because i have 2 of them waiting to be fired up for my son's on Christmas day, but I dont want to ruin the engine on the first day out. ....by the way, ... they both came with a premixing bottle to measure the correct amount......., i know ...i know ... i should just use the premixing bottle,...... however......i'm just wondering how i can make this simple to use for myself and my sons.... .... for example filling up a(1) gallon gas can that is properly premixed.

there are 2 hoses coming out of the valve cover one is the PCV-Valve and the other goes to the intake?

Two cycle oil is mixed with gasoline because the motor using it does not have it's own independent lubrication system. The ratio states the amount of fuel (50) to lubricant (oil (1)) and is expressed in ratio form as 50:1. This equates to 2.5 ounces of oil added to 1 gallon of gasoline (128 ounces). When an engine requires 25-30 to 1 fuel mix, this means to add 1 ounce of oil to every 25-30 ounces of gasoline to achieve the proper lubrication specification for that engine.

Why won't my car start?

if the oil says 50:1 and you need 25:1 only use half the container of oil per gallon of fuel. I had one of them pocket bikes also and that is what I did and it ran ok.. You can also buy a mixing cup for fuel oil mixture at your parts store or walmart..

It is better to mix the amount required, because a new engine needs more lubrication. 50 to 1 is not enough. The best way would be to get 15 liters of gas and 1/2 a liter of two stoke oil.

Why does my mini-van suddenly turn off when I slow down?

just keep the pre-mixing bottle and a 5 gal. can of gasoline handy and pour 5 of the bottles into the 5gal. can and go put 5 gal. of gas in the can and it will be right, what will happen if you use 50 to 1 is the bike will be well oiled and probably smoke a little, ask the guy that sold you the oil if he has 25 or 30 to 1 oil instead of the 50 to 1.

What causes a car's engine to hydraulic lock?

Two strokes require different ratios for various reasons. Some Napa guy saying there's only one ratio is idiotic. Use what the manual says. It'll run 50-1 but you'll probably be shorting some components the lubrication they need and might even seize that sucker.
