Kev - Is that Millers KB 2T that you\'re using?

Thats the stuff. I spoke to there motor sports dept at length and they confirmed my thoughts that this was the best oil for what i was after. I must admit you could feel the difference more or less immediately once i started using this. Era also runs it in his 12a and found the same. Burns clean the engine is more willing to rev freely and plus side that lovely smell of castor.

Is it easy to get hold of Kev or do you have to order it.....:Ladys-man

We use there oils at work John so i get it delivered at the same time in 25litre drums which i split with Era. But they have stockists around the country or a on-line store. Opie oils (oilman) may well be able to get it for you or the silkolene equivalent.http://www.millersoils.net/purchase.cgi

I remember smelling Era\'s when he left Broadlands last year. Get few of us together running on caster based 2Stroke will be like a night out at speedway.

 Castrol also do a modern semi-synthetic code No 747

Anyone injecting Methonol should be seriously looking at a Castor based oil as mineral oils do not like meths and yes the smell does take you back to the days of old.

I use Klotz Techniplate..very surprising results! Used by the Methonol 2 stroke drag bikes, we have had to adjust our mapping to suit..essentially resulting in running less fuel...
I use 150:1 so works out as 200ml to 30 litres of fuel.

Cheers,
John

i take it castor oil is synthetic??

[kev-yorks]

No castor oil is just that castor based its a natural oil that comes from a plant in its raw state it can be a bit sticky when blended with synthetics its slightly less sticky with much better lubricating properties. The castor based oils tend to be used in older two stroke race bikes high reving carts etc. Castor\'s are different from most oils in that the more temperature it is exposed to the better it lubricates the bonds in the oil molecules actually strengthen as they are heated the opposite to normal oils. Do a search and there\'s lots of tec papers on it.
