it will explode mix some thin oil in with the gas, this will lubricate the cylinder walls and will stop it from seizing up. that is how we ran the old two stroke motorcycles.

What is the oil to gas ratio for 4 cycle engine?
A four cycle engine does not use a gas/oil mixture. The oil is in the crankcase and the gas goes in the gas tank. If you put oil in the gas on a 4 cycle engine it will run poorly and smoke a lot.
How do you tell if a lawn mower is a gas only or a gas oil engine?
A gas only engine has a spout where oil is added to the engine. If there is no spout, then it is a gas/oil engine. FYI - gas only engine is a four-stroke (four-cycle) engine and the gas/oil engine is two-stroke (two-cycle).
What is 2-cycle engine oil?
Two cycle engine oil is made to be mixed with gasoline. This mixture may range from 1 part oil to 20 parts gas (1/30) to 1/50. Its usually written on the gas cap of the 2 cycle engine. This oil is the only lubrication a 2 cycle engine receives, so it is very important. NEVER run a 2 cycle engine on straight gas because permanent engine damage will occur.
Why does a two cycle engine require more oil than a 4 cycle engine?
Because a 2 Cycle Engine burns the oil in the gas, and in a 4 cycle engine, it sits in the oil pan, and it isn't supposed to burn it at all.
What happens when you put straight gas in a two cycle engine?
a two-cycle engine derives all of its lubrication from the pre-mix oil that is mixed with the gasoline. this is done either in the raw fuel or via an oil injection system. if you have an oil injection system there is nothing wrong with putting straight gas into the tank as long as the oil reservoir contains a lubricant designed for an oil injection system. however if you do not have a oil injection system putting straight gasoline into the engine will more than likey cause the engine to lose lubrication and either rapidly wear down any internal components or in the worst case seize the engine solid
Do you mix gas for a 1977 xr75 dirt bike?

Does lawn mower gas work in a dirt bike?
The gas used is the same. You just need to be sure that neither one of them are 2 cycle. Or that they both are 2 cycle. Most lawn mowers are 4 stroke whcih means they use the straight gas right out of the pump. Dirt bikes can use straight gas or gas mixed with oil.
What will happen if you use unleaded gas in a 2 cycle engine?
