: Never saw this TC-W3 stuff. Is it the same as Sea Foam or Mercury's Quick Clean? Who sells it? No. TC-W3 is marine-grade 2-stroke oil you mix in to lubricate 2-stroke crankcases. It doesn't evaporate in the float bowl of the little carbs, so the shellac from the gas that DID evaporate remains in solution with the residual TC-W3 (or any oil that doesn't evaporate for that matter)...instead of forming that really HARD BROWN coating all over the inside to the carb. I use TC-W3 because it's made to burn with gasoline in gasoline engines. I suppose a tiny mix of diesel fuel or vegetable oil would do the same if it weren't concentrated enough to put out the fire or make much smoke. A little top oil is a good thing in 4-stroke engines, anyway....it's why diesel engines just last longer.... Oh, I want that Frybrid for my old Mercedes more every day.... http://www.frybrid.com/ -- There's amazing intelligence in the Universe. You can tell because none of them ever called Earth. |
