Exhaust Oil Dripping

[MM7]

Hey Everybody &/or Anyone,

I have a motored bike I built using a kit from a dealer online that I have been riding for almost a year now. I'm wondering if anyone else has the trouble/ irritation of oil dripping from the exhaust after shutting down the engine?
I made the mistake of dripping on the wife's carpet and that was real biggie (for her not me). I had to take an old sock and make a "diaper" for the exhaust to even be able to bring the bike inside now. Oh well, that's women for you. ( take a sock and roll up the mate to it, put it inside the first sock & you now have a "China-Girl Diaper")

Any Ideas Guys/Gals?

What oil mix are you running? Any two stroke engine will leave oil residue in the exhaust but the higher the oil content, the more residue you'll get. Shoot for a 32:1 mix. In fact any internal combustion engine, 2 or 4 stroke can and will drip oil occasionally. I'd suggest to keep in the family, parking your bike off carpeted surfaces or at least placing a drop cloth of catch pan under it. Even we who use the 100:1 oils see an occasional drip.
Where the wife is concerned...don't push your luck.

Tom,
You are absolutely correct concerning wives!!
I'm running from 25-30:1 using Mobil 1 Synthetic blend

I have also found the "diaper" bit to work real well.

That's just your China marking its territory.

Goat Herder.I was going to say that also,but I got the impression that his ears were still a little sore from his wife's chewing on them that I figured I'd leave it alone!Kip.

My Favorite 2 stroke oil is Valvoline. It is inexpensive and very very good. Since you should never use a Synthetic oil for break in, Valvoline is an excellent choice. Since Valvoline is formulated to burn in the combustion chamber, you will have very little oil residual. But.. The China girl engines are so low in compression, around 6 or 7:1, they do not have as complete a burn as the higher compression racing 2 strokes, some as high as 12:1. Most are 9 and 10: 1. With China girl motors having such low compression rates, it is hard for them to burn all the oil and chances are no matter what oil you use in those motors, there will always be some marking or dripping.. Enjoy the ride...

Where can I find Valvoline oil? I've had excellent performance with Valvoline's other oil products. It would be nice to know who stocks it for the 2 strokers around here.
