Hi!
TheCastor oil we used (got from the AMA )at the 1995 pylonracing world championships at Muncie were leaving a lot of black goo in our engines! Fuel was 80/20 "Riche's Brew"!

I don't think we have inferior Castor oil over here in Europe as we use Castrol M, castor oil. But the fact is, Castor oil leaves a film (black or brown) inside the engine that is constantly building up during time on piston sides and in the combustion chamber...and this is no good!
Using synthetic oil ...or a combination of synthetics and castor oil prohibits all this carbon build up.

Regards!

Jaka, how do you explain the fact that we in the USA do not suffer the alleged problems that seem to plague you when using castor?
