Don't forget a good mechanical fuel pressure gauge if you don't already have one. Then you can monitor fuel pressure to stay above the critical 14 p.s.i. level.

 

Make certain new VP got a new computer on top.

 

I always gave my oe VP heavier doses of 2 cycle. It ran 4 yrs with the 0216 code and never quit. Was just a matter of time so I had Michael Nelson change it. I still run a little heavier doses than most recommend w/o any problem.

 

I kept my oe VP so I have another to get rebuilt if ever needed.

 

Not to stir the pot..... I don't like the walmart brand of 2 cycle oil. I could be wrong, but it seems like its thinned down, a little less like oil compared to other brands I use.

Yep have a gauge, with the raptor lift pump never below 9 even under WOT and a load. With the Fass it's never been under 15 no matter what.

 

And yes new electronics with Thoroughbreds 2 year pump

Old nozzle.  Running that oil.  All soft soot that wipes off real nice.

Now we need a pic of the new nozzle with the new oil for proof that we should switch to that oil too.

That nozzle was running the outdoor two stroke.  Issa old nozzle cause they're not in the trok anymore.  New nozzles haven't been pulled since they've only been in a week and I don't wanna touch them.

So the picture is of the nozzle after running the Pennzoil or the Supertech?

The Pennzoil 

[Mopar1973Man]

85k miles of SuperTech... Mixed at 128:1 ratio of 2 cycle oil to fuel.

 

My last pump went 243k miles before the timing piston seized in the full advanced position.
