Hi everyone, My 74 MT250 is running great now. The oil pump was putting too much oil into the mixture. Once I disconnected it and mixed the fuel 24:1 the bike has worked great. Is 24:1 a good mixture for this bike? Thoughts? Also now that the oil pump is disconnected will it burn out? Thanks Newfie P.S. I will post some updated pics soon. |

Back when gas was leaded Honda recommended about 20:1 ratio. Now that gas is unleaded and improved most people are running between 32:1 and 40:1. I run 40:1 in my Elsinores. |

Thanks. I will try another tank at 40:1. Does anyone know if the oil pump will burn out now that there is no oil in the oil tank? Thanks, Newfie |
