MOPED ARMY

Ahoy matey!! Yer logic is sinking holes in me ship.

But if we look at the back of the bottle we see that she can be used in much higher revving applications.

She'll hold up to the heat, She'll hole up to the revs.

Arghh

It's just a crusty ped' Give her 32:1 and don't modify and race the piss out of it and she'll get you where you need to go. It's just mopeds???(edited)

...true...

...and like all oil products it has a guarantee that if their oil is proven to have fuked up your motor they will replace the oil with no other warranty written, expressed or implied...

Call me old fashion, call me resistant to change, but I have been hard on the throttle for decades and dont seize engines as a habit. Might be good what you have discovered, but I have tried things in the past and discovered what is worth experimenting upon by my own failures (ouch) or success (YAY me) . So I just throw in my observations from previous experiences.

It is also difficult to not leave a moped in an untouched condition, knowing that before restrictive regulations which started in the 1960s, these were factory produced to go well over 50km/h (30mph) safely.

The estate sales have really went to shit where I'm at. The economy or mackelmore or YouTube flipping videos are what fucked it up I think.

I've been disappointed one too many times by big crowds and big prices to waste my weekend time on that.

But it does sound like a clever idea if it can be done in your area and it seems like something out of a Mad Max movie, lol.

But for now, I'll continue to run the blue oil of the sea. $14 a gallon and you're set for a long time.

Thanks Ken that's even more reassuring to know. I made a song about the oil too.

Oil O' the sea!

The only oil fer me!

Oil O' the sea!

Nice and blue and slippery!

The only oil fer me!

She lubes my ped, She's got low ash

Her price is good, not much cash.

Low on smoke, good for boat.

Good fer things that sink or float!

Liquid cooled or the air.

Good fer those without a care!

Oil O' the sea! She's the one for me!

She's Economy!!!

been using this Super tecno oil in mopeds for 5yrs, and in boats for the last 12, no probs.

Better to have oil than no oil. Penz is good Walmart ok oil.

Itasca the green bottle 12 oz for 1.38...

And is the cheapest but been running it for 10 years plus without incident it will also give you a true plug color not like the good stuff that always leaves a gray

Well the injectior on an NC50 will beg to differ. It runs best and cleanest on Honda 2 stroke injector oil. Ive tried several and synthetics fuck with it the most.

ive been using supertech tc-3 2stroke in my bikes since my rotary rx7 days!! my PR friends swore by it, and that translated over to me using it in my ktm 300 and other stuff (mopeds). never had an issue !! surprisingly quality stuff from walmart!

I think the synthetics are so slick that they leak past the seal and gears when sitting unused.

I run synthetic oil if manual says to, like my tomos revival manual says to run so I’ve found the best injector oil is this Polaris oil:

I run it in my stock cylinder magnum MKII oil injector also, flows good in all weather.

Plated aluminum cylinder kits (like polini) manuals call for synthetic 2 cycle oil so I run what the manual says but I run all different brands of synthetic and all seem to work pretty good with less carbon and smoother operation then most of the petroleum oil‘s I used for years, years ago,

I think the reverse is true about what was said about seal deterioration I think you get better seal life as well as bearing and bushing life,

Some of my personal bikes (most not stock) I’ve had for over 20 years and when I take them down for inspection/maintenance I’ve noticed less wear in every aspect, top end with synthetic 2t oil as well as gearbox, clutches, bushings and cranks with synthetic 4t oil in the gearboxes instead of just transmission oil,

Stock bike yeah you could use all kinds/brands of regular oil but if running a performance set up or if the manual calls for synthetic, synthetic oil is the way to go.

I've been using Marine oil for over 20 years, and it's never messed up any of my mopeds' motors and I've put on tens of thousands of trouble-free miles on my bikes.

Mopedlar, when you get the chance can you post some pics of sparkplugs etc?? I am more than willing to do so myself but I don't ride nearly as much as you so it would take me quite awhile to do.

I want to take speculation out of the equation.
