use 2% aka 50:1 ratio. aka 2.6oz for every gallon.

Heres a tool I fell in love with but using it at every fuel up is impossiable so I have this list I made up in my wallet. It's a little much but I'm anal about this kinda crap.

what kind of oil should i out in the et3? i always used motul 800 for my performance scoots.

You'll want a 2-stroke oil advertised for either "premix" or "made for both premix and injector type" - if you get an "injector only" 2-stroke it'll have a slightly different viscosity I believe than would be ideal. Otherwise... you can pretty much rock any 2-stroke oil you want as long as it's practical for a 50:1 ratio. I know a lot of people don't care on their old scoots, but I really recommend partially or fully synthetic 2T oil... it cuts the carbon buildup and smoke down like whoa. Less decoking of the top end and exhaust
