disconnect the pump output hose from the car/intake nipple
Cap the nipple ( no vacuum leak )
and plug the hose... drain the oil tank
for most people it best to premix the gas & oil in a gas can.. say 2 or 3 gallons
so you get the perfect mix..
shake the can well , before filling or topping off your scooter tank
when the can is empty ( not the tank ) mix a new can of fuel.. that way you will always have the same mix
adding oil to the tank and then putting in the gas.. is usually a hit and miss problem.
unless you know exactly how much gas the tank will hold and carry a pre-measured bottle of oil and drive into the gas station as soon as your scooter starts to sputter..
yes you can carry the bottle for emergencies.. and use the can .. then if you get forgetful or what ever you won't have to push the scooter home
I carry a 4 Oz bottle in the tool pack, but i try to keep the tank topped off with the premix can..
if i run low/out i pour in the oil and pump exactly 1 gallon of gas into the tank.
