RE: Ryobi 31cc engine setup
Glad to know that it still burns. Seems like I heard that it wouldn't, and tried some and it didn't a good while back. Maybe they changed the formulation or propellant back to the original...
Personally I wouldn't use it as an after run, as it will eventually evaporate or dry up and leave the engine without protection if left in an engine that sits for a long time. I use automatic transmission fluid as an after run oil in all mine. I've had some of my engines sit for years, and later fuel them up and away they go like new. I have several engines that are 30 years old that have had that treatment since new, and still run like new. (Never been rebuilt either!)
Incidentally for all the Gas/Glow engine users, I treat all my Gas/Glow engines just like glow engines: I run them out completely dry after flying, and then use ATF as an after run oil. The methanol and nitro in the Gas/Glow mix will cause corrosion problems just like in glow engines; perhaps worse because of the needle bearings on the crank/rod in "Gas" engines.
