What is the fuel to oil ratio 1973 Yamaha lt2 100?@
If you don't have the manufacturer's specs or an operators handbook then your next best solution is to check the oil manufacturer's recommendations. Different oils for the 2 strokes can have a wide range of mixture ratios. If you follow their recommendations for the Yamaha 2 stroke the warranty and guaranty for will be applicable for the ratio they recommend.

Yamaha YZ80 has water in the oil
Not a simple fix but the most likely is a leaky head gasket. After that it gets more expensive? Might try pulling the plugs and checking compression!

I have a 1993 Yamaha FZR 600. It won't start and backfires.
Try going back to basics. An engine needs fuel, air and spark/compression. If you have good compression, a good spark and it's supplying fuel the issue is possibly one of the following. Air supply to the cylinders or something is set up wrong.
Have you checked the air filter is clean? You will be surprised at how much difference a dirty one can make.
Recheck the setup on the carbs. Too much fuel can cause issues just like not enough fuel can. If the carbs aren't balanced to work together they can cause problems and if a needle or jet is slightly out it can be a factor in the issue as well.
The intake boots will depend on exactly how bad they are cracked and if they are the ones between the carbs and the cylinder head. If they are badly cracked they could be letting extra air in thinning the fuel/air mixture making it run 'lean'.
Yes, the battery could be a factor in this. Some engines, especially the higher revving versions, sometimes need to spin over a certain RPM for them to catch and start. Is the Boost pack your using designed for motorcycles? A booster for a car or a truck can be too powerful for motorcycles as they are designed to turn over bigger, heavier engines.
Check through these and comment below and i'll see if I can help more.

How to check engine oil of Yamaha xj 600 ('91) using dip stick?
It has a window, why would you need a dipstick in a sealed system.
I actually just changed the oil in my bike and found myself wondering this same thing. I ended up over filling cause when I started to run her I saw the oil in the window disapear. So I thought, This cant be right. But shut her off and the oil filled back up in the window after a bit.
So after you change the oil and oil filter, run her down the street and back, put her on the centerstand, wait an hour or so, come back, look at the window and see if you have a little bubble at the very top. Add or subtract as needed. Gotta fill up that oil filter after its been changed so you'll probably have to top it off.
