Very astute observastion Ray.
Oil? Combatkid's castor at 25% b/v. More than required, but the engine is young, and I still do not fully trust it. That said, it does run well.
I noticed the blackish ooze. It did that on the first fast run during the first session as well.
I think the light colour of the bench laminate makes it look worse than it is. It is more dark blue/green (dye in the KCB kero?).
If you look at the side of the fuel tank the true colour of the exhaust oil is more akin to ''dark honey''.
It did seem to clean up in the run after the one I video'd and posted.
Ah so the "kids" castor has a honey colour. It may be Veterinary castor then. Not that there's anything wrong with that. A clubmate runs it in his diesels and it has a lovely colour, constancy and feel.
Costs about the same as Castrol M though so it's not worth changing.
Is the discharge raw fuel coming out of the carby screw? I'm guessing that it screws into the crankcase like the single version. CS are notorious for sloppy venturi threads amongst other things.
May need a gasket?
What a pity Tom Ridley doesn't make an Oliver twin.
Oh well.
