Am going on a 300km group Ride to Cabonear, Nfld. tomorrow ... will note any odd behaviour (locals and Bike
)
WD mentioned that he adds some 2-stroke oil to every tank ... I also read someplace that some owners add "Marvel Mystery Oil" (a product developed for aircraft in WW2; not available in Canada) to every tank of gas ... supposed to keep linkages in the carburator lubed or something? Is this right? If so, how much 2-stroke oil is recommended?
I DO NOT recommend any oil additives in your gas. Plain and simple. I have never read anywhere about this practice being recommended by the manufacturer, either. That is just an old "shade tree" thing for really worn out engines...
Maybe that's why I get 2-3 years out of my plugs, it always starts, and it doesn't smoke.
As Paladin says, "KISS".
