You've mentioned octane and oil on an internet newsgroup! Now you've REALLY done it! ;-) But seriously, something I hadn't thought of before... I'm guessing these engines were built to run on LEADED gasoline.. true? What do y'all reccomend for addatives, if anything? *93* octane? You'd be hard-pressed to find 92 around here - about 95% of the stations here the highest grade is 91, and here in St. Louis we're forced to use that oxygenated crap too. Had to totally re-jet the carb in the Westy last summer to get it to run right. As for oil, I favor synthetic in NEW, run-in motors, and single weight oils in older, used-up type of motors, and air-cooled motors. That's all I got to say about that.
