Yes,you'll always get that with any forum,but over here it has to get personnel and insulting,then the profanity appears.I've even been threatened with physical harm for asking people to stop the sarcasm and profanity,which if they knew me and saw me,i'm sure they would think twice,but that's the problem,it's easy to hide behind a computor screen.I think these people come under the troll banner.

......tinny vs. fiberglass, 2-stroke vs. 4-stroke, football (the real kind, not that silly game people play elsewhere in the world. Soccer is it?), toe-may-toe vs. toe-mah-toe, etc........ All in good fun.

I don't like soccer or football,so hopefully i'm safe there.I do boxing,martial arts and like every kind of motorsport you can think of!!!

Why do people get it in their heads that if 50:1, the recomended ratio, is good, then more oil is better? Bearing that are running smoothly with the proper amount of oil will not run smoother with more oil. One of the reasons OMC switched to 50:1 was the engines didn't NEED as much oil as previously thought. It was discovered, that with the reduced oil levels, preignition problems in the engines were greatly reduced. Fact is these engines will run perfectly fine on mixtures even leaner than 50:1. Muculloch started using 100:1 in the early/mid 1960s. OMC did it in the late 1980s, for a couple of years, but reverted back to 50:1, not because of engine failures but there wasn't enough residule oil coating internal bearing surfaces to protect against corrosion during long term storage, where owners fail to winterize their motors.

as one wise long term member said...." oiling a motor is like watering a horse....not enough and it will die a quick death, a bit to much will just get blown out the exhaust!!"

Cool,always nice to have the piccies etc to look back on,just look after them.My ex wife burnt all my photo's 20 years ago, when she left me while i was overseas with the military,leaving was a god send burning the pictures was unforgivable.
