  1. The above is not a trick question. I am totally satisfied with Wally World Super Tech 2 cycle outboard in the blue gallon jug. This is simply a question based on economics. IF the Opti-Lube will do the same or better job than the 2 cycle it would be much cheaper to use. But, will it do the job?? The "TEST" results says it will.... what do you guys say ? :thumbsup Thanks in advance...... :thumbsup chuck
  2. Have any of you guys tried the Opti-Lube Summer Blend ? It is ranked # 4 in "The Test". I have been using 2-cycle exclusively for many, many, many miles now. :thumbsup [Thanks Mike & Dorkweed] But I got to studying the chart again and it finally dawned on my 'old' mind that the Opti-Lube Summer Blend would actually be cheaper to use and actually showed better results than the 2 cycle. I do realize the two cycle was tested at a 200:1 ratio, while I use a 128:1 ratio. The Opti-Lube at a 3000:1 ratio would be much cheeper than the 2 cycle at a 128:1 ratio.. What do you guys think ? Any down side to using it instead of 2 cycle?? Please be honest, you ain't gonna hurt my feelings......... LOL
  3. Bingo boys............. it was the brushes. Thank's for all the good info.............. :thumbsup
  4. Thank's Mike........ it hasn't done it any more...... :confused: .........but when /if it does, you have given me something to "work" with........... :thumbsup Thank's for the link to the error codes too .......... :thumbsup :thumbsup :D
  5. Does the speedometer in a 1993 Gen 1 w/ manual trans have a cable or a "sensor". Every now and then [ twice in the last two weeks ] my speedometer quits working for a short time.... a mile or so ....... and then it just starts working again. Any Ideas ?????

  11. Here is a question that I hope someone has an answer to. I have a 1993 and this has happened three times now. The altenator stops charging according to the volt meter gauge..... [and yes I have verified that it is not a bad Volt Gauge with a handheld.] The altenator when removed checks out good, nothing wrong with it. I only removed it once and had it checked. So, I just charged the battery when it began to get low....... I was just driving around town at the time anyway. This lasted about two weeks and then it just started charging again. This has happened two more times for a couple of days and then it starts charging normal again. Has not happened in a couple of months come to think of it. Anyway...... what could be the cause of this???? Any help is appreciated. :thumbsup
