Ditto: It ain't broke, don't fix it.That plug looks perfect. Don't mess with the carb tuning.
It says 100% Ester Based Synthetics. I picked up on the oil from some website. Could have been here just don't remember.Cutting out?
Doesn't sound like an oil thing.
Does that Maxima contain castor oil?
Its good stuff...... you'll like it....!I was able to find a dealer not too far from work that carries Opti 2. I'll probably use some of it before I put the bike away for the winter. A 1 litre bottle sold at $21.95 plus taxes. That should last me a while. Can't wait to try it out too to see the difference.
The only garden store in my city that sells any Opti at all sells Opti4, I asked why no 2?Let me beat this dead horse a couple times!
In my small town, the local ACE Hardware sells a lot of Opti2 to persons who use it everyday at a 100:1 ratio. If it damaged their engines, don't you think it wouldn't sell? They're the ones who use it to support their livelihood.
Have you tried contacting them direct and asking for distributors near you? They're pretty good about knowing where their products are sold. They might also be interested in the dealer who doesn't stock 2 stroke Opti.The only garden store in my city that sells any Opti at all sells Opti4, I asked why no 2?
I was told they don't carry it because it doesn't sell.
My thoughts are why?
No one knows about it and how can they try it if they can't buy it?
I got my Dad to pick up a few large ketchup packets of Opti2 in Maine, imagine that, got to go to the USA to get Opti2.
You're more than welcome 2door. It's the least I can do for you and everyone else in here. Like I said earlier, the good people here in the motorbicyling forums saved me from making the mistake of running an inexpensive 2 cycle kit engine without tearing the top-end down first.Very informative read, FM. Thanks for posting it. It actually should be required reading for anyone involved with small engines either 2 or 4 stroke.
Thanks again.
