I have a '68 3.5hp Eska (sears) motor. I know the<br />mix is 16:1, but what kind of oil? 2 cycle?<br />thanks,<br />M.Y.

Ahoy, MellowYellow.<br /><br />Air cooled 2 stroke engines usually run much higher temps than liquid cooled. For that reason TCW-3 oil is not the best for them.<br /><br />I suggest a good brand of chainsaw or Weedeater oil.<br /><br />Good luck. :)

But Pennzoil semi-synthetic run in most all ratios emits a smell not unlike an evening at the motocross races when run in aircooled garden tools at wide open throttle (WOT) conditions.

hey, I like that smell, LOL :p <br />I have some "Still" on hand which I'll try if I<br />can only figure out which fuel connector it uses.<br />glad it's for my 14yr old son, I bet it'll be<br />a bit loud!<br />regards,<br />M.Y.
