Re: E85 Advice

Listen to Tony above,
if its milking the oil your tuneup is out to lunch or set up is completely wrong.
Treat it like methanol and you wont have an issue, treat it like normal fuel and you'll have dramas.
Fogging oils and upper cyl lubes like Klotz uplon are great!

Re: Another reason not to buy Speedmaster shit

We all need the balls to not buy this stuff, take hose and fittings in australia as an example, buy speed flow, australian made, nothing else,
Once you lose your own principles you have nothing,,
There are good moral options if you try.

Re: Another reason not to buy Speedmaster shit

Speedmaster is one of many, we all have a duty to ourselves not to buy this copied cheap garbage full stop.
None of it, no matter what.
There are brands pushed down here that are the same!

Re: Inexpensive 350 Build

The secret with the brake callipers is understanding how they are actually designed to work, the parts used and the assembly method.
Extra springs are a crutch.
Dig into some old literature
