    If memory serves, I think that motor probably has a brass connecting rod. They are run with sloppy clearances or they will seize. 16:1 or 1/2 pint per gallon.

    16:1 it is. Would the Blue Marble be too modern a lubricant. Should I be using straight motor oil of some particular type? I understand that modern oils are designed for different tolerances and types of newer bearings. Any recommendations?
