Re: Engine oil

Lucas ZDDP additive is a really good product. AutoZone and other places sell it. Use half a bottle per engine.

Re: Engine oil

I used the 15 W 40 (as I recall). I'd avoid that straight 30 weight oil--it'll murder the oil pump gearing on cold start up.

Excellent news! It took a while for these guys (and other manufacturers) to realize that thrust collar is needed.

Re: port engine turns over, but won't start

Try this: When you are CRANKING the motor over, have someone check the + post of the coil for voltage. You should see at least 10 volts there.
