Long Range Tank

Imola mixture

Almost finished my winter rebuild, so I have fitted an Imola on my GP150, all new seals bearings, 30mm carb, Andy Francis staineless exhaust, I've read a few things and it seems 3% is what most recommend, also I normally use Putoline classic 2 stroke. So is 3 % with Putoline ok?

Any thou...
