Gas/Oil Ratio HELP for Restored 80 Harley Cart

RoboHarleyGolf70 · 06-09-2021, 03:55 PM

I have a 1980 Golf Cart that I restored and fired up for the first time it ran in about 2 decades. I want to make sure I use the correct Gas/Oil Ratio mixture and best Brand weight/type oil I can use as I do not want to have to put any more work over the past few years of little bit here/ little bit there time I have had to work on it. I started with 50:1 (smoked like a chimney), 85:1 better but still excessive, 100:1 well better but still more than I would think. I'm afraid to go any leaner as again don't want to damage anything. Maybe I should use a different oil? Ratio? I currently have Lucas Oil Products Semi-Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil in it, which states as smokeless - not so much.

Help??
