Sharc:
If you want to do some Premix math, here's the rules:
16 fl oz. 1 pint
128 fl oz. 1 gallon
2 pint 1 quart
4 quarts 1 gallon
And, most importantly....
1 jigger 1 and 1/2 fl. oz.
So a little over 2 jiggers per gallon is 40:1...
(A jigger is a shot glass, for you young 'uns...)

BPR8ES @ 0.28 (stock is 0.24) Belray H1R 60:1 94 pumpgas
My bike is usually a 1 kick starter, hot or cold, with no kickback. When it's cold I like to put it in 1st and rock the bike back and forth 3-4 times. Apparently this super richens the mixture. Seems to work as it almost always starts first kick cold. Hope this helps. Last week I tried a regular BR8ES at 0.24 and it definately didn't start as well. Hmm..... Cam.

Ya, in gear and rock it 5 or 6 times works for me, 3rd kick usually. BR8 ES @ .028

I've tried this method because many use it but everytime I do, it floods the bike and it's a be..atch to start.

Since changing my stator, I now get a first kick start if I slowly kick it once or twice then kick the devil out of it. :lol:
