So I don't have to throw away the oil I bought a year ago and haven't used yet. Well, that's good. 8)
Re: Colortune for sale again! It's also useful in the Knoevenagel condensation in organic synthesis. But everybody knows that. 8)
Thanks, Russ. I was hoping that PghXJ would respond, though. So I could get the reasons why oil breaks down by just sitting there. I'm...
I've found that the smaller hardware stores like Ace or True Value have way better selections than the giants like Home Depot and Lowe's. Plus,...
It breaks down just sitting there? So the motor oil that's been sitting unopened in my garage since last year is no good anymore?
Like this?

I had that idle/low rpm sputter/burble/farting sort of issue, and it turned out to be the petcock not flowing enough gas. Try running it on prime.
