Last question before I crash for the night but does anyone know what types of oil I can use that are from Home Depot ?

Someone earlier said marine oil you want to avoid.

any 2 stroke lawn and garden is great

2 stroke marine is not good it will kill the engine it dosent lubricate as good and is for the water cooled 2stroke outboards :)

Thx for that reply, got my shopping list almost complete. There is one thing I forgot though, can I use any in line fuel filter from Home Depot or does it have to be something specific ?

I've seen em priced from as little as $6 to as high as $30.

be sure to get a filter with an arrow on it so that if you take it off, you'll be able to put it back on without dumping all the collected crap into your carb

Not so about the fl oz to wt oz. Oil is less dense than water. A cup of water weighs 8 ounces. What weighs more, a cup of feathers or a cup of bricks?

Did you figure out how to bend the exhaust to fit? If you don't have a vise, use a couple of 2x4s. Bolt the together around the pipe so you have something to grip. You should be able to get a bit more clearance if you bend the muffler toward the front tire. You will also get better clearance if you remove the heat guard.
