Default marvel magic oil

my valves are sticking on my quad and i was wondering if any of you have used marvels magic oil on a quad before and if it messes up becuase of the wet clutch thing. i know that it helps the valves becuase my buddy uses it in his car. but i just want to know if it will be ok in a quad.


thanks in advance

I would be hesitant to use it because it may screw up your clutch. What makes you think your valves are sticking and when was the last time they were adjusted?

I use marvel mystery oil in automobiles before but never a quad. You know you can run it in the gas to. I don't think it would hurt anything in there and it might help the valves out.

I ran a little mix of it and regular oil...did solve the problem but it ran fine and actually helped clean the motor out when I changed the oil

I am going to pull off the head and squirt some on the valves and going to splash alittle down the fill hole. but not very much.



Thanks for the help

If you search the web, you will find that some aviation gas is leaded, and it is used to clean out lead deposits, and they put it in the gas. Whatever, don't put it in your oil.
