CaptinJohn, No I dont think it is required, but as it was its first ever run, I thought I would give in and load it up a little with oil, and cut back as required. It does spray a fair bit of oil around while running, but the next few runs I'll cut the oil in the mix back quite a bit.
It runs like a clock. there is a link in one of my earlier posts to a video of it running.
Cheers, Wiz.
