What Kind of engine oil do you use in your Moped?
When I bought the elite the guy gave me some Bombardier 2 stroke injection oil which has been doing its job but now that I used the container up I'm going to be switching to Ipone 2 stroke special injector oil..I'm not sure what special injection means but it is made specifically for scooters and it is strawberry scented it is also synthetic. With near 7,750 miles(when I should have most of the bombardier oil used up) I am planning on running this stuff so I'm planning on making the switch from regular oil to synthetic.
Anyway, just wondering what kind of oil everyone else is using and their luck with it if they'd like to say

Re: What Kind of engine oil do you use in your Moped?
I'm new here, new to scooters and new to 2 cycle engines so I am sorry if this is a dumb question, but apart from getting laughed at by the other lumberjacks, is there a reason I couldn't use this strawberry scented oil in my chainsaw?No_Stopping_A_Spree wrote:When I bought the elite the guy gave me some Bombardier 2 stroke injection oil which has been doing its job but now that I used the container up I'm going to be switching to Ipone 2 stroke special injector oil..I'm not sure what special injection means but it is made specifically for scooters and it is strawberry scented it is also synthetic.

I don't see what it would hurt as long as it is mixed at the correct ratio..I just can't wait to run the stuff in my moped myselfGIJoeBob wrote:I'm new here, new to scooters and new to 2 cycle engines so I am sorry if this is a dumb question, but apart from getting laughed at by the other lumberjacks, is there a reason I couldn't use this strawberry scented oil in my chainsaw?No_Stopping_A_Spree wrote:When I bought the elite the guy gave me some Bombardier 2 stroke injection oil which has been doing its job but now that I used the container up I'm going to be switching to Ipone 2 stroke special injector oil..I'm not sure what special injection means but it is made specifically for scooters and it is strawberry scented it is also synthetic.

a dude from honda fed me a line of crap why not to. but as long as you dont add alot you should be good. but for real a little bit is all.skaltpunk wrote:there was a great deal on Honda GN-2 Oil, so i bought 5 quarts of it. seems to be good stuff.
are there any dangers to adding a bit of oil to the gas even when the injector is working?
wait for some one else to reply who knows 100%

I don't notice much difference from the bombardier oil to the strawberry ipone (synthetic) it doesn't even smell like strawberry's coming from the exhaust which I thought it would have..the only two things I've noticed are the speed from 25-29/30 is a tad bit faster but that may be because I put in about 2 small capfulls of fuel injector+carb cleaner and my other observation I seen was the oil is used up a little faster, which generally isn't a bad thing.

I'm curious to what could be bad about adding a little oil at the gas tank..the only thing I could figure is something with the petcock or it may make it run leaner if to much is addedother than that I don't see what could be bad about it. what did honda end up telling you?Dac wrote:a dude from honda fed me a line of crap why not to. but as long as you dont add alot you should be good. but for real a little bit is all.skaltpunk wrote:there was a great deal on Honda GN-2 Oil, so i bought 5 quarts of it. seems to be good stuff.

hey fokes, i think i might have found my problem. who i fried my last bore kit.
i dont use 2 stroke injection oil. i just buy a container that says 2stroke. not injection. how bad is this? and should i trow away what i got and get all new injection oil?
[the dumb * at honda said it could cause it to fire before the plug sparks. it could pre-combust like Diesel motors. he had no proof to back it up thats just what he said. when i asked him if he cared to explain he said 'thats just what i heard.']
