  • Gas/oil mix in service manual

    I mix my fuel 40/1 but I found the following statement in the service manual and wanted to know how you all feel about it.

    ENGINE FUEL AND LUBRICATION

    The factory recommnds that extreme caution be used during the first five (5) hours of operation of your new E-Z-GO. The critical factor during this time is the fuel/oil ratio. For the first five (5) hours a 40:1 ratio must be used. This is 3 1/4 fluid ounces of oil to one (1) gallon of gasoline. After this break-in period and throughout the life of your E-Z-GO, a ratio of 128:1 should be used. This is 1 fluid ounce of oil to one (1) gallon of gasoline.

    Sounds to me like they want to sell new motors frequently.

    That is extremely lean oil mixture for any 2 stroke, I would not go leaner than 50:1 and leave it at 40:1.

      can you eliminate the oiling tank and mix the fuel in the main gas tank?

        I eliminated the oil tank on one of my other carts and have no problems. Now I mix 40/1
