Help & guidance sought

[Peter Laidler]

Same meat, different gravy......... I have a small 2 stroke generator that is a bit of a pig to start (on the cord-pull starter) UNLESS I drain the tank down and start it on normal leaded petrol and let it run for 10 mts or so and then add the 2 stroke oil while it's running. Then next time, start the same palava again....., drain down, start and then add 2 stroke and so on and on and on...... The Q is how long can I let it run without the 2 stroke oil before it causes some damage. Thanks chaps

Well Peter, if there’s no lubricant on the cylinder wall damage starts after a few strokes. Think sex with women who have passed certain age.
