Option for tough times, pedal and don't wreck engine thereby creating more tough times.vista man i do know i need to add oil. i just was not able to at that moment . times were really tough for me at that point in life. we do what we can to get by. just so you guys know i have also ran crisco oil in it before... yes during a couple of those times that i did not have regular two stroke oil.. but i read online that old dirtbike racers used to use it.. unsure of the ratio mix though...
