The 15W40 and 20W50 I run must do a better job than the recommended 10W40. Or it could be the fact I run mixed gas (couple ounces atf every other fill up).

Yep. Counteracts the alcohol in the fuel and lessens tank rusting. I know my carb slide was sticking/galling on straight 87 octane, had to pull and polish it a couple times. Once I started adding some atf (or 2 stroke oil) to the fuel, it hasn't done so again.

Sometimes listening to retired race mechanics is a good idea. So far, Ive been happy with what they recommended for my engine.
