I wonder why 2 stroke engines get gummed up when using this oil?
Just wunderin...
Well, back in time when 2 cycle engines were common in motorcycles, and prior to the miraculous invention of pumping correct amounts of oil into the intake tract, it was solely the fault of the operator.... usually a teenaged kid, who couldn't figure the correct ratio of specific oils to gas quantities...
Coupled with incorrect jetting and poorly adjusted carbs, dirty air filters, and incorrect spark plug choices based for specific operating conditions...
The resulting "concert of errors", coupled with intermixing different manufacturers oils and mixtures incompletely and letting them sit, produced the outcome.
It wasn't the oil, it was lack of following directions, and correct procedures.
And they really didn't "gum up" , letsnjust say they became an oily mess, which fouled plugs, exacerbating the issues.
