I know the ASP at the very least, survives a 20:1 ratio fairly well, in fact runs excellent on 15:1, but I prefer 10:1 myself, just because I have a fairly wide range of engine sizes converted (among them an OS Wankel that I absolutely do not want to risk) and I don't want to carry around different mixes.
definitely,,..apparently piston replacement was mentioned also..parts are no longer for those big twins , i would have assumed the guy was running the right oil ratio, i mean he is in his late 60,s or so , well on the other hand probably 30 to 1 ratio as i have read that mm had recommended that..
