TS 250 Fuel Mix

[TheHoff]

Please confirm exact fuel mix for the TS 250. How many cups to every litre of fuel, and do you measure to the higher line in the fuel cup or the lower line??

Hello Michael,
The bike is 1978. Also I got caught in the rain last night, after putting fuel in (2 cups in 10 litres) the bike cut out and back fired/popped 4 times on way home?
Not sure if mixture caused this or doesn't like wet?

Cheers

Hoff

You're going to hate me for this but I don't use two stroke oil at all anymore. For the last ten or so years I've been using diesel at a ratio of one liter diesel to one gallon of petrol and it works better. It keeps the engine internals cleaner and creates far less exhaust clogging and piston carbon. I also don't use that ghastly BVF carb abomination on my engine anymore. I have a modified 1-1/2" SU which works FAR better. Also I have replaced my coil with a car coil and have adapted Suzuki GT380 points to it which work a thousand times better than the bog standard MZ shite. I also run two condensers and use long spark plugs to increase compression. I shall run away and hide now before the proper MZ Nerds come for me with pitchforks and burning torches.

I have been thinking of doing the SU carb mod, since seeing it on pigeons website. http://pigeonsnest.co.uk/stuff/photos/mz.html
He used a SU HS2 which is 1 1/4" I think.
