mixture is achieved
only
by
preparing
it
before
filling the fuel tank.
It is, with its
logical
consequences,
very
common
to
put
oil into the
motorcycle's
tank
and then add the
gasoline
according
to
the
proportion
specified,
considering
that the
pressure
of
the stream
of
gasoline
or
a
shake
of
the
motorcycl~
is
enough
to
perfectly
pre-
pare
the mixture the
motorcycle
needs
for
its
operation
...
THIS IS COMPLETELY FALSE.
If
the oil remains separated
from
the
gas-
oline,
one
of
two
things
may
happen:
1st.- The oil passes
through
the
gasoline
valve
practically
by
itself. (This makes star-
ting
the
motorcycle
difficult,
since
it is very
difficult
for
the oil
alone
to
ignite
from
the
spar
k plug spark.)
2nd.-
The
gasoline
passes
through
the
valve
prac
tically
by
itself. (The
engine
starts
easily,
but
its
mechanisms:
ring, bolt, piston,
main
driv
ing rod,
crankpin
,
and
crankshaft
are
operating
withou
t any,
or
insufficient ·lubri-
cation,
which
causes
wear
and
overheating
with
all the
consequences
this brings with
it.)
Never, HOWEVER
SHORT THE RUN
MAY
BE,
should
the engine
be
ru
n without oil in
the
gasoline
or
with the mixture
poorly
pre-
pared. Even
tho
ugh there has been
appar-
ently
no
damage
because
of
the short length
of
time
of
operation
without
oil, marks
imper
-
ceptible
to the naked eye have been formed
on
the
fr
iction
poinls.
These
marks
will
grad-
ually
inc
rease and cause,
damage
later, even
if there is
enough
lubricant
at
the moment
the
damage
occurs
. We
reco
mmend that the
fuel mixture
be
prepared
with ESSO
2-
T oi
l,
which,
because
of
its great affinity with gas-
oline and
because
of
its
low
residual level
when
burned, meets the requirements
of
a
2-
stroke
engine
with greatest efficiency.
We
do
not
mean
by
this that you will
receive
good
performance
from
your
engine
