So i just pulled the injectors again 3 months later to upgrade...they were all full of carbon deposits again..been running 2 stroke since my original post in feb... so that tells me that it wasn't the optilube. Do you think it could be direct relation to the smarty?

Ash. Metal in oils. Typically this is caused by ATF, Waste Engine Oil, etc. ATF contains things like anti-scorching compounds, friction modifiers and other soft metals like zinc added. Waste engine oil is the same way with zinc and other soft metals added and compounds to extend the life of engine oil. Now when you burn this the metals come out as ah as seem above. This why the 2 cycle oil theory was created to resolve these issues of ash. Now back in the 1970 ATF didn't have all these compounds and same with engine oil.
