Default Mintor...?

For straight pattern engines, I would stick with the OS 140 RX or the YS 140L or 140 DZ.

This is based on our experience here in NZ.
For what reasons would YOU not continue with your Mintor? or is this hearsay? Also if it is run with too much oil content it wont run very good.

Some people dont give the engine a chance to get broken in properly. It is machined to very close tolerances and needs time to set the ring.
