Wrong gas put in tiller - put in gas w/oil

[southam]

iI have been using 4oz of marvel mystery oil in my truck for every 10 gallons gas since it was new 205,000 miles ago.Also a little less than that in small 4 strokes,seemsto counter act the ethenol and keep everything lubricated and clean.......

Bull riding requires four: Yours and the bull's. I tried it once, back in my younger days, and found that humans actually can fly.

I pour water into the carb while the engine is running.
Back in the 60s 70s 80s we would do this in our cars. I do this once a week.
About every 200 hours I pour oil in the carb
I do this every week in my dirt car.

I've hear about it. Steam cleaning. Very efficient, but one must know how much to put in. Don't want to hydro lock.

After watching bull riding on TV seems like a rider is lucky to have balls at all after one ride. I always dump older 2 stroke mix into my tractor. Good top end treat.

-Like Carscw said, the mixed gas isn't the issue. Every few tanks on my '92 Craftsman push mower, I will fill the tank about half way with the 50:1 mix for my string trimmer, then the rest of the way with straight gas. Never any issues and no extra smoke either. I pull the plug every now and then, but it burns pretty clean with just a hint of oil residue at the base of the threads, but none on the electrode. I also use Marvel's Mystery Oil in my gas cans quite a bit too without any issues. I do this for a top end lube/cleaner. Does it really work? I can't prove it. But a 22 year old push mower that still runs great, starts on the first or second pull, and doesn't burn oil is good enough for me...

I have a 4 cycle gas walk behind sidewalk trimmer I bought in 1978. I don't put any 50:1 mix in it but I do use
the Mystery Oil in the gas. Keeps on ticking!

See I try to avoid my engines from ticking. :laughing:

Yes and that's one reason my back is screwed up for life..... I am thankful I am not in a wheel chair.... The surgery that they want to do just might do that though ~!~!

Back on thread....

I've run my 27 horse Kawalski on diesel fuel before. Just for kicks. I ran a 1/4 tank of ULSD with a pre run hot engine. Ran fine, bit down on power though, bit of smoke and it smelled....good but then I like Hillbilly incense anyway. Only have 3 gas engines around here and may be 2 shortly as my 'other' Honda is about to poop the bed and will be replaced with a Hatch Diesel.
