Default Castor oil makes a big difference!!!

Hi All
Well I just added 4 oz of sig castor oil to my gal of fuel and what a difference. It idles much better, runs in general better, and even sounds better. That was on a 40 size motor. I can't wait to try it on a 1/2 size motor. I should have done it a long time ago and maybe I wouldn't have had the trouble it had before. I'll keep you posted. Terry

I think you will also find your engines lasting longer. Another benefit is keeping bearings from rusting between runs. I'm not very good at remembering after-run oil, but after I started adding extra castor to my fuel I noticed no more rusting of bearings. (on the engines that have bearings) A little more oil out of the exhaust, but well worth it. I do it with my rc car fuel as well. I'd rather have the added protection than the last @@@@-hair of performance out of it. Ross
