Read thread above on how to calculate your usage.

 

If I'm doing my math right, at 32:1 you'd be using 1 quart every 8 gallons, and at 40:1 you'd be using 1 quart for every 10 gallons. A lot of guys run their sleds at 50:1. If you're going through 1/3 of a gallon in 10 gallons, that's about 30:1.

Not positive about your model, but on mine you can follow the cable all the way down to the oil pump in the crankcase. There should be two marks down there. At wide-open throttle, the lines should match up, which would be 32:1 from the factory. This is how you can tell if they richened it up, and how you can lean it out if you want.

Sad (but kinda good) news is that when these oil pumps fail, they fail wide open...how many miles on the sled?

Hope this all makes sense...sorry if I wrote it confusingly.

 

Thanks for the info. It's been a few years since I rode and I almost had a heart attack when I lifted the hood and saw that I had used that much oil after running 1 tank of gas.
