Always use fresh, name-brand gasoline, and mix
the oil and gas the day of the race. Do not use
premix that is more than a few hours old.
NOTE:
If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different
brand of gasoline or higher octane grade.
cC
Never mix two types of oil in the same
batch; clotting of the oil could result. If you
wish to change oil types, be sure to drain
the fuel tank and the carburetor float bowl
of old premix prior to filling with the new
type.
Fuel tank capacity:
8.0 L (1.76 Imp gal, 2.11 US gal)
Mixing oil
Recommended oil:
Yamalube “2-R”
(Yamalube racing 2-cycle oil)
