Quick question for the board... I am in the process of restoring a moped of my childhood that was in storage for 15 years (Columbia Imperial - (sachs 505 engine). The moped engine has around 5 to 6k on it and once again running. My question is this, what is a ballpark lifespan of these engines before rebuild? Will running synthetic 2stroke oil greatly improve the life?
Any thoughts are welcome and appreciated!
Thanks,
Scott
