Thread dredged up from the vaults
I bought 3 one (1) litre bottles of buggy fuel from an auto shop the other day, they were having a clearance sale and had the bottles marked down at $1.00 each.
Now, the lubricant listed was cool power and no % was given for quantity.
I expect being buggy fuel it would have low % lubricant.
I later went to a pharmacy where they were having a special on 100% BP grade castor oil in 80 mL bottles (about 2 1/2 FL. Oz.)
I bought 3 bottles ...
One for each litre ...
The Castor was clear and quite low viscosity.
The .46 2 stroke LOVED the fuel.
My take is ... if the castor is pure unadulterated medicinal quality, feel free to use it! I have a source and will be using it again! I have also heard that veterinarial grade castor, and cosmetic grade (used in some soaps) is also quite acceptable.
