Hey all,
I have a 2001 scrambler 50 for my son, it is only a couple months old. It seems to be very hard starting everyonce and awhile, I believe it is beacuse of the automatic choke on it. It seems to flood really easy? Any ideas or is there any adjustment to the auto choke on these?
Other thing, can I or should I run octane booster in my Trailblazer? does anyone do this and does it help any or just hinder? will it hurt?
Lastly, chain lube, is lube containing Moly OK?
or a penatrating type, or should I just stick to one that says it is for sealed rings and not worry?
Thanks all

Can't answer the first question, but I can the other two.
Octane booster will not be of any help to the TB. Higher octane fuel is used primarily to keep high compression engines from knocking and dieseling. The TB has a compression ratio only in the 6's. Can't remember the exact number, but its around 6.5:1 or so. Regular pump gas is more then enough for it.
Any quality chain lube that specifies it can be used for o-ring chains is all you need for the chain. Some people prefer to "wash the chain with a penetrating oil like wd-40 before adding the o-ring chain lube. But what ever you do, use a lube made for o-ring chains. This will keep the o-rings soft and working the way they should.
