I think the last time this got discussed on the list, the consensus was that you should use whatever your car seems to run best with. I have seen a special oil formulated for carb dashpots but haven't tried it. Some people use ATF, some use 10W. My GT6 seems happiest with plain old 10W-30 motor oil. I tried 10W and it ran like crap until it was fully warmed up. It probably has a lot to do with altitude, temperature and a lot of other variables. In my opinion, there is no "correct" product to use. YMMV Dave
Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2002 08:26:12 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: dashpot problem Hi guys recently had a problem with the engine misfiring on my gt6 found out that it was because one of the carb pistons had stuck due to low oil- so the carb was not mixing which lead to soot on the plugs. so i freed up the piston and put some oil in the dashpot and replaced the plugs, and the car has been running fine. but then the other carb was running low on oil so i topped that up and now the other is running low. any ideas? do i need to get my carbs tuned? can i buy an off the shelf purpose oil for carbs? if not what is the easiest way to mix engine oil to the correct viscosity for the carbs, been advised to mix wd40 with a 15w40 is this correct? thanks __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
