[QUOTE="SumDumGuy, post: 359082, member: 12459"] 16:1 simply equals 8 ounces of oil to 1 gallon of fuel. Why would I run 30W? De-carb once or twice a year, no issues, motor runs great and it will definitely not die due to lack of lubrication (heat, due to carbon buildup, is also not an issue). BTW this is on a '55 10hp. Although not always strictly 16:1, I never run it higher than 24:1 and usually it is somewhere between the two ratios. A fully jeweled engine means all moving surfaces have ball/needle bearings? Am I right, am I? [/QUOTE]
