About three years ago they quit selling 2 stroke mix at the pumps in Italy. At that time they were blaming the scooters for most of the smog in the cities and...
Even if there is 2% oil in the mix, the 80 or so miles per gallon has to make up for it. I can't imagine that the 3 gallons of gas I would use to drive to Los...
The big problem with two strokes is the unburned hydrocarbons. Standard two strokes go off the scale and qucikly clog a HC meter. A standard two stroke engine,...

On my VMA there was a loop of steel around the throttle tube right next to the grip (looks like ASCI picture below). leaving this out lets it snap back...
