Re: How to time a P50 rotary valve

[brad-ernst]

I put the valve back on and I am getting it to start and run for a second or two then it stalls possible carburetor float issues. But also wondering about what the fuel mixture should be. Over the years I have been told a lot of different things like 24:1, 40:1 plus some strait 30 weight motor oil with it. Recently I saw another post on another model, I don/t remember what one that said 8:1. Any suggestions. and could that be why it doesn’t stay running do to loss of a seal on the rotary valve with not enough oil.
