    Nice catch on the 1968 being the first with no tank. I thought that started with the 4 in 1969. Good thing I didn’t send him a recoil from a 1962 or something. Oops. Having experienced-first hand what happens when you run a plain bearing engine on 50:1, even good oil, (Ka-BAM) I would opt for 16:1. It would probably be okay on 24:1 but why risk it?

    Long live American manufacturing!
