You're the asshole who wanted to winterize his outboard with WD-40, and wanted to know which two cycle oil to mix in the gas for your four cycle outboard. Aw, for pity sakes. If my memory serves me correctly, Herring asked what kind of oil to use to 'fog' his outboard for winterizing and WD-40 was mentioned. You can buy fogging oil and use it only to find out that cheap WD, STP, Liqui-Drench, and any other penetrating oil contains about the same qualities as a $9.95 can of "genuine" fogging oil. PLUS! The question that John brought up about what brand of oil to use in the crank case of his 4 cycle outboard was brought up, and Bill Graham (mechanic extraordinaire who sees no redeeming quality in rec.boats due to all the political and insulting posts) thought that Herrings engine was a 2-cycle, so Bill recommended that he use any quality oil rated for 50:1 for fuel/oil mix. Bill never advised to change the crank case oil on a 4 stroke and use 2 cycle oil. and Herring never took it that way. For all I know. John never brought up a question on what 2 cycle mix oil to put in a 4 stroke crank case There is a misconception there. So, This is from my recollections and I'd like to see anybody prove otherwise. So until then can we finally give that topic a break???? Why would "Bill,"* when asked what sort of oil to put in a crankcase, conclude a two stroke engine was under discussion? One doesn't run a two stroke outboard properly by putting oil in the crankcase of a two stroke outboard. Herring himself stated he posed the queries. He did ask. BTW. I don't think it is a great idea to use WD-40 for engine fogging, for reasons previously discussed here. * It's Bill Grannis, I believe, not Bill Graham. Where does the gas oil mix go after it leaves the carburetor? (How fast can you google Krausie) I send it to your wife, who gives you an enema with it. |
