Contemplating firing up the ole JD... been sitting a spell... It don't have no turbo or VP44 but I'm thinking the valves & rings could surely use some lube. I got plenty of dino 2 stoke. You guessed it, I'm thinking to dose it good. Any thoughts?Russ

I'd say, "Go For It"!! :thumbsup

I don't see any reason why not... I would give it the 128:1 dose and take a rod and stir it up good in the tank. Then at least prime up the low pressure side with fresh fuel and fire it up...

Carefull where you stir you might fine the fuel gauge. I run it in my 4030 all the time.

I was thinking of 60/1 double dose with the dino oil. I had not thought about mixing it up but my flat "fuel guage" stick should do fine (fuel guage has not worked since I owned the JD). The OEM float is in the side of the tank & I'm sure I can carefully avoid getting wrapped up in it. Yes, it'd be easy to crack the fuel filter drain & pump a bit of mixed fuel through with the priming lever. Once I get it running, I ought to just let it run a while to get limbered up.Russ

Getting below 100:1 is to hot of a idea... remember all oils are natural cetane reducers... So if you get it too low it will trouble some to start. If you looking at HFRR number play with the calculator a bit for 2 cycle oil... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/tips/cumm ... r-calc.htm

If it has set a while, pressurising the oil galleys with a quart of oil and a preluber.The volitils will evaporate - lowering the cetane #. Lower cetane is good - until there is trouble starting. Most times over a yearkeydl
