I'm not being pickey at all Chief. It works on some engines and conditions, not on others. The larger the displacement is, the less critical the ratios are for general ''sport'' use. Shrink down to K&B Infant Torpedo .020 or Cox .010 size and it quickly becomes VERY critical.
The oil goes flying all over the combustion space and the plug, and guess what, it will bond to the platinum glow plug element far faster and better than the alcohol will- result fouled or dead glow plugs.

Sorry not to be picky myself but who said anything about small stuff, the OP was about a Fox .35 and Torpedo 29 and 19, just add 12 oz. of castor to a jug of fuel and go have fun. The end.
Nope!
It doesn't work that way. You think there is no difference at all in the running character and such between a GH Torp .29 or a .19 and a Fox .35 then you are VERYgreatly mistaken.
I have a whole bunch of Torps, and Foxies as well as others. Some 10 of the GH .35 Torps alone, and I know them quite well. ALL engines are individuals and no two are exactly alike- similar maybe, but the same no.
The Torp .29 and .32 are close but not the same, and there is a difference between the .19s and .15s as well. All of which tells me you don't know what you are talking about, but I already knew that.
