Not to be an ass or anything, but shouldn't this post be in general discussion or something more related to the topic??? Am I missing something here?Ok guys I was at the dollar general killing time and i noticed 2 stroke oil for ...80 cents a bottle then i looked even closer and read coastal 50:1 oil is this true have you tried it and how do you like it
No worries, the mods are very understanding here....yep it should, i guess i got over excited and posted in the wrong place, my bad and I apologize whole heartily. I'm sure a moderator can move it and NOT give me another warning the error of my ways have already been pointed out thanks
I was always taught that you read the plug that way for the right fuel/air ratio, not fuel/oil ratio. Brown is good, lighter is too lean, and dark is too richJust read a post which reminded me which colour meant what and what you want is a good brown colour.
If it's black, too much oil; mix less. If it's gray/white, not enough oil; mix more.
Happy riding.
That could be it; I can't remember, just remembered the colours.I was always taught that you read the plug that way for the right fuel/air ratio, not fuel/oil ratio. Brown is good, lighter is too lean, and dark is too rich
No better, no worse. Still smokes a bit as if I was running 20:1. Only benefit seems to be that I use less oil.any better/worse performance that you have noticed?
what size are austrailian spark plug sizes????,I thought sae and metric was world wide??,,,????I can't do that at the moment for myself as I don't have anything to remove spark plugs from the states, only standard Australian sizes, so I need to hunt for one... which is annoying because I can't check how well my Valvoline mixes...
dude here in the states we use whatever fits bust our nuts bolts threads are made everywhere i have standard and sae and i never worry about mm size just find one that fits tight and use it im sure you have a 2 dollar mower plug remover that will work fine intact 3/4 plugs are only common on mowers and outboard's over here and as far as i know my bikes take a 3/4 on every plug which is only 3 so far Ive used 13/16 will work fine 12/16 is 3/4 just my 2 cents5/8 (16mm) SP
13/16 (21mm) SP
That's what they say on my spark plug removers.
Terry told me that the spark used was a 3/4.
My question at hand is, does that mean I need to get my spark plugs internationally? Or will the Australian ones still fit, just requires a different sprocket size to get them in/out?
It's very close. Technically closer than 13mm is to 1/2", even tho many of us have been exchanging them for years lolIsn't 3/4 ",19mm??
