TC-W3 dosage

[julianop]

I use Lucas TCW3 and put a cap full in every time I remember that I just filled up...around home, anyway...

I imagine you'd want to shake it around to mix it properly if you do it that way.

Will any 2 cycle oil work or does it have to be TC-W3?

TC-W3 on the label. I used walmart brand $11.00 a gallon. I had bought a smaller bottle of it that was marked in 2 0z. increments and just continued to refill it from the gallon.

I saved a handful of empty and clean 5-Hour Energy drink bottles for TC-W3. They are 2 oz bottles. I keep a few full ones with me ready for fill ups.

edit: not to worry. The original label is torn off, so they do not drunk (drank?).

Does your Concours have more PEP??

Yes. But that is more because of SiSF

That's a good idea.  I've been using a baby bottle, since it seals well and has nice measurement markings on the side, but it can be a little messy.

The smaller the cylinder, the smaller ther jets.  That is part of the reason that the C-10's have trouble, they are pretty small jets controlling each of our little 250cc cylinders fuel.  Take a look at a jet for a 26cc weed eater or a 50cc moped, you can hardly see through them when they are clean and new. That little hole plugs up really easy.  The carb on my 300 Inch six cylinder ford had a jet that looked like it would pass grains of rice, and it never plugged up.

Yep!  A couple of pumps of the front forks works (in my mind, anyway)...and, I feel better knowing I've just helped coat the inside of the fuel tank with a light oil film...no rust visible so far...I also use Star Tron to help stop water from collecting in the low spots...carbs still seem good after two and a half years...

Yup. I'll rock mine from side to side at the gas station if I forget to put it in before filling with gas. I'm now perfectly accustomed to people looking at me as if I'm strange.
I'll look up that Star Tron...

If I forget to add it before filling up, I just let the natural violent agitation action of upstate NY's roads mix the tank contents for me.

The northern Midwest - Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois - seem bad this winter: I think there has been more moisture getting in under poorly maintained roads. That causes buckling during thaw/refreeze cycles, and the plows do the rest.

I saw a road crew patching up holes in Rockford IL this morning; I found that a bit optimistic, but every bit helps, I suppose.
