Amazing what oil CAN do >:(
12 years ago
Well, I've been having starting problems with my trike recently and finely tracked down the problem. It turns out the oil that i've been trying to use up that came with the trike has been causing the problems. I've been using Ethanol free mogas with no problems with it until the last couple of flights since the station got shut down which forced me to start using ethanol blended mogas. The oil, Amsoil Dominator Race synthetic seams to not like the new ethanol blended green gas that we have and apparently turns to goo and coats the plugs IN ONE RUN >:( which is why I've had to replace the plugs each time I've run it recently. I didn't have this problem with the ethanol free gas which I've always run with in my two strokes, until now since I cannot get it anymore *Growls* This means I'm going to have to drain the tank and purge the oil from the Rotor valve to change the oil. *sighs* oh well time to get busy *pulls out tools and heads to the hanger* take care folks.

It doesn't matter, I'm switching oil anyway. As far as 100LL goes It runs fine on it, it just is hard on the plugs and tends to stick the rings in two strokes plus it's expensive >.<
