you put it in the gas, I'm not 100% sure on the ratio. might want to run more then that?? if 100-1. that means for every 100 gallons of gas, you add 1 gallon of 2 stroke oil. or 1/100 of a gallon or oil for every gallon of gas. that's as far as I can go since I'm a canadian boy and use liters
you still use normal oil in the motor. is everything blocked off? where the oil metting pump used to be and where the lines went into the housings?

You cannot use just any other 2 stroke. There's some made specifically for motorbikes and fuel injected engines. These do not clog up the injectors. I'm using Valvoline Multi Purpose 2 stroke. Before, they had a label which said "recommended for rotary engines".
The new bottles do not have them . I really don't know why but I still use them since it gives me good results.
I've heard Yamaha 2 stroke is good but pricey. Using pure 2 stroke for over 2 years, I've yet to have problems that's fuel related.

I use the Valvoline stuff with the little guy on front with the crotch rocket. My ratio is probably low, you use the little reading on the side of the bottle. I believe it goes by 8ths or something around those lines. I put in half of one of those every time I full up. Yes your car might smoke, however your seals will last longer.
