Re: too much oil?

There's room for arguement on that one and it's been well discussed on this forum.

Re: too much oil?

The real question is how much too much oil did you add?

Re: too much oil?

Faztbullet is spot on ..

i posted this to another thread

If you run a higher oil content you will be weakening the fuel/air ratio , this in turn will raise the cylinder temps as you will be
running a lean mixture.
Eventually if the mixture is too lean because the oil content is too high you will burn a hole in a piston or seize the engine as the cylinder temps get too hot.

It is a myth that putting more oil in a 2 stroke helps the engine through better lubrication.
