I don't see an actual subforum for 2 stroke topics so if this is the wrong place for this topic I apologize in advance.
I am currently building one of those Chinese 80cc bicycle engine kits to be able to ride to work and around town for short trips.
For the time being, I am currently using some old TCW3 I already have on hand but I know TCW3 isn't ideal for non marine applications so I'm looking for recommendations for a good 2 stroke oil that will be good in high temperatures (this engine gets over 300 degrees while running) and help prolong the life of my bike.
Also -- if anyone else has one of these engine kits on your bike, what oil/fuel ratio are you using? The manual it came with says to use 16:1 which honestly sounds insane but I've heard of people running 50:1 in them with no problems as well.
