    Hoping someone can help me. What's the ratio of 2 stroke oil should I add to the petrol. It's a 1982 Vespa PX125.

    Thanks.

    2%

    2% is 200ml to 10 L then shake

    what i do is buy 100ml bottles that are pre measured to do 5l of petrol, i usually buy one or 2 and keep re using them to measure everytime i fill up with 5l or 10l

    Thanks for all of the replies.
    One other (probably obvious) question? Should it be mixed with leaded or unleaded petrol?

    Can you still get Leaded Petrol? I though Lead Replacement Petrol was the only option - and I'd say that's hard to find!

    The lead in leaded is used to protect the valve seats
    Two strokes don't have that sort of engine they use a different arrangement so you should be fine on unleaded
