so r40 is the replacement stuff then

if so that excellent roll on getting it running ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Castrol R40 is a superb lubricant that is intended for race engines. Just be aware it does not have the same deposit control and anti corrosion properties of a dedicated 2T oil.

Im sure all casster oils are pri mix only they dont feen in autolubes.
they all so tend to oil up plugs as well so if your podeling threw town you may need to give it a quick blip and when you hit the band again if youve ben podeling for a while the bike smokes like its still cold.

i run a caster oil in my race bike and love it . 1 thing is for sure you wont blow up a bike thats running it . well not thew over heating due to friction its grate stuff .

you cant use on autolube as it is too thick for the oil pump, but if you want to keep the autolube put a capfull into the petrol tank for that 80s smell mmmmm

[davslc]

doing away with the autolube anyway as it was in bits when i got the engine so dont trust it ,so premix it is .

As Norbo says, the motor won't blow up in use, but don't leave the bike standing around during the Winter with castor oil in it as the gum and possible corrosion damage will wreak havoc...........................................
