- That seems to be a very small amount of oil. If anything I'd add another
- 5% castor to it, the reason being that castor protects against lean runs.
- I use 20% of a castor/synthetic mix in my Combat motors (and 25% nitro).

- Hmmmm...

- I have a couple engines I can trash.. anyone know of a similar oil here
- in the states? I've heard of Big Bangers and large (> 1 cu.in.) glows
- running on 10% oil, but not the little jobs.
