    ha talk about another thread takeover but i'm in on this one lol! 1/2A conbat used to be me and my dad's thing... great fun. we had a flying wing factory in the back of our shed cos we kept crashing into each other! I've still a few 1/2A flying wings and a 1.5cc diesel at home. goes fukken hard... who'd of thought a 2.5cc diesel motor can do 160 kph like in this vid. they're mighty spectacular when they collide too

    Uh-oh motul 800 is red, i'm too colour coordinated.

    OK, little oil in crankcase so no *dipping the big end then (*kezza - your slacking, Freudian door was ajar on that one)

    Been reading up a bit more, apparently an important function of 2t lubrication is rust prevention during engine down time, and there's a bit of a trade off with lubrication. Never knew that but obvious now I think about it with air/moisture in mix.

    Here's something worth a quick squiz - It's a 2 stroke Jim but not as we know it. NZ design, groovy pivot piston.

    TTS is likely good stuff, and that's a good history. but you know red is fast (the next best thing to orange).

    Regarding puddles of oil again, I get a little bit that sits in bottom of my intake boot behind carb. Wondering if reeds are a little worn and getting some blowback? This is just a guess, it's definitely (red) 2t oil, definitely not drool from over-oiled filter. Anyone else get this?

    yea my old 300exc used to do the same thing, i thought it was just fuel mist evaporating and leaving the oil behind
    SHE LOOKED UP AT ME WITH BLOOD IN HER EYES
    THEN HER SKIN FELL OFF
    AND SHE PROMPTLY DIED

    Look at Carb front in the GIF attached to my first post you'll see why?
