ya i know i shouldnt be but i have been useing some reg 2 cycle engine oil that i had laying around for my weed wacker on the last too tank ! could that be cuasing it? what brand and where would you buy good 2 stroke oil?

 

i used to use the polaris gold 2 cycle(synth) oil with good results. it is expensive, but as he mentioned it doesn't smoke nearly as much and does a good job. everyone has thier opinion i'm sure, but i think you get what you pay for in 2 cycle oil. the hotter an air cooled 2 stroke engine gets the more power it looses and can even cause damahe if it gets too hot while your beating on it. imo

ill get some good polaris oil and see if it helps, i will let you guys
know when i try it!
