Twanger -> RE: Cool Power bad rep? (3/11/2007 3:24:34 AM)

I like to switch back and forth from syn/cas to straight synthetic. I'll run syn/cas until I can feel the prop shudder as I SLOWLY turn it through a compression stroke by hand. This seems to happen more when the humidity is high. The first sign is when you can't seem to get the needle set right. You think it's lean, so you richen it. You search for the sweet spot. It's not there. You start having deadstick problems. GRAB THE GREEN! A couple of tanks, and she's tearin' up the sky. Slow compression stroke test, shudder greatly diminished or gone. Half a gallon or so later, go back to the syn/cas. Everybody's happy![:)] I might add that I run .40 size two stroke engines exclusively. YMMV[;)]

Does anyone know what is in COOLPOWER SUPER T ? The Hobby shop recommended it for breaking in my new Supertigre 45 ABC (so far so good) but neither the jug nor the Morgan Fuel website listed the nitro or oil content. Morgan fuels does not even list it at all. The list an OMEGA Super T but do not give percentages for it either.

do NOT use Super-T for smaller engines, it has allot less oil (12% if memory serves me), the big Tigre's don't run well on the higher oil content fuels. the nitro is 10%

kc

EDIT: FWIW the Super-T fuel uses a High Viscosity oil

KC:
Thanks for the heads up, you probably saved my engine. It has been 45 - 50 F here in Fairport NY. I confirmed what you said with Morgan Fuels today and I asked that they list the Coolpower Super T percentages on their website and to add a warning that it is for the large ringed engines only. Everyone note that even the G-2300 requires "18 to 20% oil". Only the manual for the ST G3250 , G4500 and 60cc twin says 10-12% oil is OK. These are lower RPM long stroke ringed engines.

I found Morgan Fuel's phone number on the MSDS sheet ! I am considering buying some castor oil to add to my gallon. Adding 8 oz to 123 ounces would add 6 % lubricant. I dunno, maybe I should sell it rather than go into uncharted waters.

I feel the manufacturers really should list the percentages on their jugs, particularly in this case where there is a risk.

thanks again / BH

It is still snowing here so I have not run any engines. I bought a quart of Klotz supertechniplate to bring the oil content of my jug of Coolpower Super T up to 18 % oil. The Klotz is 30 % castor and I plan to add about 8 oz to this gallon or probably 4 oz in a half gallon to start with.
