Morning what oil mixture are people using on a molossi 166 kit,as I've bought a vespa 125 with one on,the previous guy was using 3'/, mix but I'm thinking this may be to much as the auto lube is still connected,what are your thoughts on this,I appreciate any answers

2% is fine for road use , 3% for racing

Maybe I should of mentioned the 3'/.is premixed in the tank with every 5 litres of fuel,and with the auto lube putting in the standard 2'/. I'm thinking that's 5'/. Going in,so I guess what I'm asking is should I just put 1'/. In the tank to make it 3 if that makes sense?

When my autolube was running, I used to fill that, and literally do an Ainsley Harriot with the oil straight into the tank. Got to admit, while doing it, I didn’t feel the need to shake about like I was getting electrocuted mind… Or look like a complete tool doing it… It gave me that piece of mind that if the autolube did stop working, I’d got a bit of a backup. I was doing 55+ miles a day, 6 days a week mind, with either a Polini 177 or a Malossi 166 (with Scorpion pipe) on it at the time. They say it smokes more when you have the autolube running and sticking a bit in the tank, but let’s be honest, it’s 2 stroke, it’s smoky, it’s obnoxious, and it’s usually either loud, annoying, or both, it’s great. Sod it… 😎

2-3% if auto lube running okay, i would personally put another 1% in tank when its under heavy load.
Are you sure the autolube is working??

Yes so with the auto lube working,(I'm a great believer in if it ain't broke don't fix it) so I'm thinking the engine is getting 5'/, mix which seem a bit much for my liking.as to much oil can't be good as the fuel won't burn as it should and was wondering if I should just put another 1 and half in the tank,to bring it to 3/ half percent 🤷♂️

Try it and see how it goes, check the plug regularly to see how things are
