RE: Substitute for Ether
Toledo was a success. Brought back a Norvel .074, PAW .06, PAW 55, and MVVS 1.5. Also an O.S. FS-40S-C to accompany the FS-26S-C. A few quarts of Klotz Benol for fuel. And I spoke with Klotz about the R50 synthetic. They told me it is good for 400-425F minimum before it begins breaking down and agreed the wristpin is going to be the critical component. They told me my old Sig castor oil didn't blend well because it likely oxidized.
More testing is planned but I have other things that are keeping me busy. I spoke with a few others who were interested in etherless fuels, so it is certainly worth pursuing.
