Fuel Oil Ratio

Hello Group,

I am in the process of getting my bike back up and running. I have let it sit for a few years. It is a blata with Polini engine. Everything on here says a 50:1 ratio is what is needed but i just noticed that it says 20:1 on the gas cap... I can not remember what i used to run in it. Any thoughts?

Air cooled?

No matter what, I would never run any engine at less than 32:1. Oil is cheap, engines are not. A little more won't hurt anything, and if it is air cooled, then it can increase the life of your engine considerably.

Please tell me what you know about this bike.

That is a Blata Elite 11. It is powered by a Polini Series 2 engine (40cc 3-port) with a Dellorto SHA 14/14 carb. It also looks like you have a BZM/Ducati coil. Any Polini parts will fit on it, as that is one of the most common engines. Nice bike.

After sitting for a few years, at minimum, you should source a gasket rebuild kit and replace the intake, exhaust and top-end gaskets.

Good luck.

hey fellas just wondering how many people here run 50:1 and for how long?

95% of the guys at our track and abroad seem to run it after break in with IP oil and im trying to pick up a few rpm to bust past 18,000 down our long straight.

After actual experience not thoughts, this is in a BZM 6 port motor.

cheers!
