The reason, in the first place. for me draining a small amount of my oil was to see if there was any water maybe in the first amount drained,but, there wasn't (and then my shaking hands didn't get th

If anything, I'd think you'd want it the other way 'round (thicker stuff in summer). Snug should be enough I think. Perhaps a new gasket would help, a thin coat of Hylomar on the gasket probably woul

Isn't that backwards, Paul? 20W50 would be for hot weather, 10W30 when it's cooler. (Although I run 20W50 year-round and it does OK even in occasional freezing temps.) Personally, I have a strong bi

On the oil, Valvoline VR-1 isn't very expensive. The non-synthetic is locally available for under $5 / qt. I have to get a store to order the synthetic for me, but even that's not too bad. Compared t

I've absolutely no axe to grind about Valvoline products as they were used for about half the total journey on the Triumph Trans-America Stag in 2009. From the start in Florida until we reached about

My greenish oil is due to ZDDP. Yeah, I accidentily flopped the summer/winter viscosity thing. The biggest factor about the marine batteries is their height. This one I bought was more than an inch (

The gasket I was mentioning is the one that seals the top to the chamber... a thin paper ring about 2" in diameter. Hylomar is a non-hardening sealant that may improve results when using thin gaskets

I have found the life of those two rubber "top hat" seals (where the later H6 float bowls attach to the carb body) to be highly variable. Sometimes they last many years, sometimes they start leaking
