I am using 10w-30 full synthetic oil. The temp was cold like the mid 30's morning time to mid 60's afternoon. Now we are getting into the 70-
range temp wise.
My plug is black the guy at the store said it looks like its been running a little rich? Im not totally sure. Seeing i tore the diaphragm on this new carb here i will be putting the old carb back on tomorrow lol and hoping like heck it works.
As far as switching to Manuel shut off valve i have a line coming from tank into filter then into the petcock, out the the petcock to the carb. then my vac lines runs from the petcock to the intake elbow.
If i do go Manuel instead of the vac petcock shouldnt i just take the petcock off and put the Manuel one there and just take and cap the vac line right there at the intake spot?
(STOP STOP STOP F STOP!)
DONT USE MOTOR OIL PERIOD UNLESS YOU WANT ASHY BLOWN ENGINE!
WHO EVER TOLD YOU TO PUT THAT IN IS A COMPLETE IGNORANT A* and you should woop the dog piss out of them 2 stroke oil only for 2 strokes and 4 for 4 strokes the oil your using will gum the dog piss out the thing causing stuck rings and will cause your exhaust become blocked.
Drain that out IMMEDIATELY! IF ITS 2 STROKE RUN PREMIX TO BLEED THE FRESH OIL IN THE SYSTEM WHEN SHE STOPS RUNNING AND YOU SEE THE AIRS OUT THE LINES if you have a vaccum pump skip what I said and pump the oil to the tip.
Next, add the manual petcock inline after the petcocks drilled out.
Sorry but I'm saving you grief don't F*** up the work.
Motor oil is a last resort to get home fix. Never ad more then enough for your trip home to put proper oil in it.
