I have seen people recomend 16:1.
That's what Gizmo motors requires for their warranty. :eek:

I honestly think that it's just their way of covering their but. Hopefully I never need to warranty mine, I run 25:1 in it. :)

They claim that he can tell if it was run 16:1? I thought it was crazy but figured why not give it a shot. So far I've had no problems never ate a plug as of yet (still the original). I would think you would be still okay with the 25:1 though.

I think its Tim at GIZMO who told me 8oz per gallon of fuel I don't know what ratio that is but that's what we run
That would be 16:1

Do you notice more smoke or excess oil mess out the pipe?

I have run my Gizmo 30.5 full mod for a year using 25:1 never had a problem and I never even heard such a thing as running 16:1, They never told me to run it at that!!

They recommend more oil for a better ring seal. Higher compression and less blow by.

I've never tried 16:1.
