Where is the oil input and how do you put in a Yamaha PW80?

The Yamaha PW80 doesn't have an oil input in the traditional sense like a car engine. It uses a pre-mix system. This means you mix the oil directly with the gasoline *before* it enters the engine. There's no separate oil tank or input port for oil.

To add oil, you follow these steps:

1. Check your owner's manual: The exact oil-to-gas ratio is crucial and will be specified in your owner's manual. Using the wrong ratio can severely damage the engine. Do not guess.

2. Measure the fuel: Use a fuel measuring container to accurately measure the amount of gasoline needed.

3. Measure the oil: Using the ratio from your manual, accurately measure the correct amount of two-stroke engine oil (not automotive oil). Yamaha recommends their own brand, but other high-quality two-stroke oils are acceptable. Again, *follow your owner's manual precisely*.

4. Mix the fuel and oil: Pour the measured oil into the measured gasoline. Thoroughly mix the two by shaking the container vigorously.

5. Fill the fuel tank: Carefully pour the pre-mixed fuel into the Yamaha PW80's fuel tank.

Important Considerations:

* Always use the correct ratio: Incorrect mixing is the most common cause of engine damage in two-stroke engines.

* Use a clean fuel container: Avoid using a container that previously held other substances.

* Use fresh fuel: Old fuel can go bad and cause problems.

* Check your oil level regularly: While there's no separate oil input, monitoring the fuel level is essential as you're indirectly managing your oil supply.

Remember to always consult your Yamaha PW80's owner's manual for the most accurate and up-to-date information on fuel and oil specifications.
