I have a 99' sr-50 "Dio" And Is the d*** thing two stroke or four stroke because it sounds like a two stroke but it has a seperate gas and oil tank and the oil tank takes some 5w-30 stuff???

Its a 2 stroke, that tank is for 2 stroke injection oil so you dont have to premix the gas. LOL, you talk about al these upgrades and dont even know what engine you have.

I like engines and i'm tring to learn. So could I start using premix and what would i have to do to the oil line? Kink it or someting? Also would I have to start using the same oil i put in my weedeater?

Dont plug it off, dont use weed eater oil in it, use honda GN2 injection oil and that oil only as you clearly dont know what you are doing so just keep it simple.

I bought my oil at Walmart. Just make sure it says that it works for 2 stroke injection systems.

Those codes are for 4 stroke engines, i dont think there is a code for injector oil.

yeah,
its not like 10w 40 or anything like that. any...
"2stroke injector oil"
... will do the trick just fine. But i highly recomend using honda brand 2stroke injector oil. That stuff works awesome.
as for capping it off and premixing, My advice, Dont.
But if you want to, here is the things you have to do....
1- remove the oil tank.
2- remove the oil pump and grind teeth off it.
3- Replace oil pump after it has been modded.
4- cap off the oil line hole on the carb.
I switched to premix for a while but i ended up switching back. (new pump). The stock oil injector works so great there is no since in taking it out.

removing oil pump gear may be easier than grinding teeth off, its press fit heh
