2-cycle oils again.
OK, I've seen two cycle oils that are formulated for water cooled
engines,a nd als0 two cycle oils formulated for air cooled engines. I know the two cycles have a higher operating temperature that isn't controlled by liquid and a thermostat. Does anybody know of a web site that gives a good explaination of the difference in the formulas? And does synthetic cover both types of engines? BTW, I will be running marine grade in my boat, and air cooled in my weed eaters and chain saws. |

I can't believe that this guy was running the v-4 Johnson on about 30 to 1 or richer yet! The thing is a mosquito fogger! He said he had to change out the plugs about ever 10 to 15 hrs. now I know why. |

I'm not concerned about my weed eater, so I'm seriously thinking of dumping it all into another container for weed work and starting fresh. Who knows, he may have mixed the gas with Shell Rotella for all I know. i will say this, it does idle nicely after an initial warm up, though. |

I use Poulan oil since it has fuel stabilizer already in it and I can get it locally. http://www.acehardwaresuperstore.com...02.html?ref=42 |
