fox eagle 60
I just bought a used fox eagle 60, i took it apart to clean and I found that the front bearing is not a sealed one. Is it supposed be sealed or not? any help would be great.

RE: fox eagle 60
that goes against the 2 stroke way, how does it run lean due to no seal? I always thought the crank had to be sealed? any tricks on setting the carb, it's not the air bleed one(i have low and high adjusting needles) thanks for the advise!

With Fox always start by opening up the high speed needle one full turn. then set the low speed, after that is set then tune the high speed. If you try it the other way the engine will never tune. Now the down side, if the weather changes from Sat to Sun. you have to do it all over again. Also you may need to add caster to your fuel. Fox engines were made to run on 20% caster

Ok, I got the engine running. It starts well and runs like a champ! I am using omega 10% castor/synthetic blend, I don't know how castor is in my fuel. What does it hurt to not run 20% castor? will it run hotter without castor? I've been told it leaves a vanish on everything?
