    Not so worried about fuel as we don’t have mogas without alcohol around here so must run avgas.

    My concern is more about using too much oil in the fuel. Pre-mix plus injected? How much is too much? What might I see? Fouled plugs? Etc?

    Will go rear Rotax Ricks website now.

    Interesting reading on Rotax Ricks site. He recommends adding 3.2 ounces of oil for every 5 gallons when using the injector too. He’s very particular about his recommendation to use Amsoil Interceptor oil at 40:1. No mention of disabling the injection system so I’ll run it and the 3.2 oz pre-mix.

    Thanks for reminding me to look up Rotax Rick. We have spoken in the past and he was very helpful. My engine had sat new, un-run for years and he recommended that I “Fly it like you stole it.” (my words) rather than do a pre-emptive IRAN.

    He told me that if you can't get a hold of amsoil that quicksilver(sold at wal mart) is almost as good.
