Re: RE[T3] Snake oil? maybe not!


I think there is only one kind of Marvel, with dual carbs get a helper.
measure out say 1/8 cup per side and pour it in both sides at the same time,
then as soon as you hear the engine react shut it off or pull the points
wire from the coil.  Do this on a cold engine so the oil wont merely
evaporate off the valves.

Downsides....  none that Im aware of other than maybe fouling the plugs if
they were dirty to start with but that wasnt a problem for me.  The usual
disclaimers apply but the only problem I could think of is having a large
chunk of carbon loosen and get cought between the piston and cylinder when
working its way through.  I think this is highly unlikely though.
