[SEL] Maytags always steal the show !!

[Mark Shulaw]

Yes I understand that.  The risk to no longer made original parts to have a 
little bit less smoke is still to me not worth it. Smoke is just a part of 
Maytaging.
And from what I've experianced if an engine is set up properly and the 
internals of the engine are up to anywhere near snuff and the proper oil is 
used at the right mix ratio the smoke is minimal with little risk to a 
finite number of Expensive original parts left. Lets not forget that by 
experimenting with oils and mixtures we are also putting rods, rings, 
crankshafts and mainbearings at risk too.
  I've just seen the internals of so many engines ruined due to improper 
oil or the lack there of thats its not even funny.
Remember I see more then the average number of engines and parts compared 
to the average collector. So I see a wider range of problems then the 
average bear. I am repairing  on average 50 plus carburetors and ignition 
plates a year just from whats mailed to me at home for repair. And even 
more at shows. And the same can be said for seeing engines tore down and 
the troubles inside.
  JEES what am I doing here I just realised that I'm loosing money by 
recomending proper mixtures and the right oils so  forget everything I've 
said in the past, run em 40-1 / 60-1 heck try 4000-1 mix that Dave 
recomends, lets see how long they run. Heck I hear that vegetable oil works 
well, Even used Veg oil lfrom McDonalds lets all try that. Then the smoke 
will smell like fries.  GRINNNNN,  NOT!!
   Happy Tagging all.    Mark

PS: For anyone in the area there is a nice show at Wellington, Ohio this 
weekend. Its called Lagrange Engine Club Show.  See ya there,   Mark
