ORIGINAL: grant-RCU

I am ordering a davis head for my TT pro 46 tomorrow. I am planning on running a blend like this

10 to 15% X brand cheap starting fluid 2% amsoil cetane boster 30% motor oil? and the rest kerosene.

I may leave out the amsoil.

Now the question is what types of motor oil will work well and blend with kerosene with out ether? I am planning on using like 10W 30 or 40 X brand cheap motor oil.

Thanks,

Grant

10w 30 motoroil are not good for model engine, best to use 10w 40 or better 20w 50 motoroil, 10-15% ether are too little if you want to hand start, better to begin with 30-33% ether. Ball beared engine are 25% oil enough.

Motoroil will mix with kerosene, they are from same raw oil product.
