    She looks like a real beauty!

    TO keep her that way, ensure you run at a proper fuel/oil mix, with a good TCW3 oil. Synthetics even better. Please don’t let Bob the Builder down the street convince you to run that at a 50:1 ,mix! 24:1 would be my minimum. I run mine at 16:1 as I share the gas can with other small hp motors requiring 16:1

    My brand of choice is the BRP XD30 for my oldies, but there are other good oils out there as well. A lot of guys on here run Penzoil synthetic oil. I find the XD30 burns cleaner, with less odour and less oil slick. Your results may vary.

    Great find!
