Hi,
The mixing ratio is 50:1 thats 50ml of petrol to 1 ml of oil. Why not use a kitchen measuring jug to find out how much the cap holds? I can't remember how much they hold as It's a while since I had a TS.

Hate to put the cat amongst the pigeons BUT.I had both a Supa 5 and a 150 at the same time in the 80s,and remember them running different ratios 50:1 for the 250,and 33:1 for the 150.Check out the UK based MZ Riders(?) club for confirmation.

Hello
You can use 1: 50 ratio without any problems...
For the ETZ 250 MZ allowed 1:100 with synthetic oil (castrol biolube for example).
1:33 was only necessary for the upper conrod bearing before they changed to needle bearing in the 70s....
