Spool up is slightly slower, but not too bad.
I got a big surprise today. I finally made it thru my first jug of break-in 32:1 lawnboy. I switched up to 50:1 amsoil and I lost all my power. No more pull out of hover. The engine just hates it. So I am going to mix up a gallon at 40:1 and try another gas station. It was a very dramatic difference in HP. I thought i would pick up a few hundred rpm. I did adjust the needles and it only got worse. Hopefully it is just bad gas or it is that sensitive to the oil mix.

I am sure you have read up on all the latest oil debates?

Sounds like more oil = more power & protection & cleaning action.

Think I will go Pennzoil 32:1 to 40:1 -- might just do the Mobil synthetic at 32:1 then to 40:1 as Dick Hanson likes though. [&:]
