Zenoah engines
Can you guys that are running the 26 Zenoah engine tell me what oil to fuel mixture you are running and what have you found is the best 2 cycle oil to run?
I have another question for the people running the MT5 truck, what is good servo for the brake and throttle?

I run 32 to 1 ratio w/ Blue Marble Oil. I was going to run Amsoil until I talked the owner of this site. www.bhhanson.com. Give him a call. He will tell you all about the test they have done on many oils and how they worked out. This guy is a Zenoah builder and the designer of the Zenoah water cooled boat engine. I am very happy with his advise on this oil.

RE: Zenoah engines
Everyone has a differant opinion on ratio and type of oil. FG recomends a ratio of 25:1, which is 5.1oz of oil to 1 gallon of oil. Most any Synthetic 2 cycle oil will do the trick. I personaly use Zenoah oil, it is put out by Horizon, but am switching to a totaly differant kind of oil new to the market, I wont even suggeest that oil because it is recomended it be mixed at 70:1...

RE: Zenoah engines
I like amsoil, i run it in both my boats, and my MT, i run Bombardier outboard oil in my Bergonzoni, and believe me it has turned some serious rpms with no problam, i guess it all boils down to opinions, there has been test after test after test, there are so many, i decided to go with Amsoil, as i can buy it reasonable, and locally.
