Wipping A Dead Horse Oil

[happycheapskate]

Never use HOMELITE weeder oil in ANYTHING, even homelite weeders. I burned up one about 4 years ago, using the recommended oil and mix. The warranty people refused to cover it, so I tore it down and looked. The red oil gummed up the carburetor and filters, and left heavy deposits in the muffler.

Oil it or push it!

CROBO, hi and welcome. You can buy a Schwinn Bicycle Computer for about $10 at Walmart in the bicycle section. I have 2 and they work on motored bikes with no electrical interference from the engine. It is a red cyclo-computer with 2 buttons. The wheel magnet doesn't even require a screwdriver to install, and it comes with all the zipties needed to install, and a battery. $10!

Just ride 4 tanks of break in fuel, constantly varying your speed, and don't use motor oil. Use something like PowerCare Home Depot weedeater oil, at 20:1, or 32:1, at the very least 40:1.

yeah i have a bell speedo but its been acting up and thuss i havnt been using it that much.

i used 2 stroke oil from the gas station near me, not sure about the make but it was blue and i haven't seen or felt and bad effects on the engine as of yet at 16:1 ive run about a gallon through it so far. i think the next 1 gal tank i mix will be 20:1 and ill stick there for 2 tanks then down to 32;1 and ill stick there. its not to smokey and i dont seem to be 4stroking and there's no gunky stuff coming outta my muffler so i think the mix is about right.

as of now my rear wheel needs serous attention and i need to alter my bike chain break for use on a 415 so i can shorten this chain and stop re adjusting my tensioner every 2 miles hehe
