Ok I have a question, recently I acidently filled my quod with 100:1 oil mixture, I was too lazy to drain it out so I took off with the quod. I noticed increased performance, smoother idol, and exhaust poping. Overall my quod has never run better. I remember my dealer saying something about running a couple ounces of 2 stroke oil in the tank for lubercation. Should I keep doing this or will I be killing the engine in the long run? P.S My quod is a 2002 Honda EX300 4 stroke manual.

I don't think a little oil in your fuel will hurt your engine at all, especially at 100:1 ratio. This might over the long haul create some extra carbon deposits in the combustion area of your engine, but nothing I think that should cause any undo concern.

it wont do anything, i have an crf50 and a xr200 and they both run with 40:1 gas and its fine, and my mixed gas that has been sitting longer than a month in the can it goes straight into my truck no matter the amount of gas in the truck...so the ratio is prolly 100:1....................i think the worst that could happen on your tard chariot when you run mix is that you'll fould a plug..............
