STARFLAME ENGINES (Con't.)
Oil provides the
only
lubrication
your
engine
gets.
Keep
in
mind
these recommendations:
1.
Use
a good
grade
of
both
oil
and gasoline
...
gasoline
not
less
than 98% octane.
2.
Always
mix
them in proper proportions, 16:1
--thorough-
ly--
and in a clean container.
3.
Keep surplus fuel
tightly
capped
to
prevent evaporation,
loss
of
volatility
and power.
Too
little
oil
means
inadequate lubrication;
too
much
oil
means
spark plug fouling, rapid carbonization, and over-heated pistons,
all which may
lead
to
engine damage and costly repairs.
The carburetor feeds the gas-oil
mixture
to
the engine, mixing
the fuel and air
to
obtain the correct volatile mixture, thus
providing fuel
for
combustion,
the
lubricant, and a coolant
for
internal surfaces.
