I've played around a fair bit with my SU's and the ZS, trying different oils to see what the effect is.
Starting with too thick an oil, you floor the throttle, and the engine very slowly responds. It takes a long time for the piston to move up, causing the small venturi under the piston to limit air flow. You thin the oil, and the throttle response progressively becomes better. Eventually, you can reach the point where the throttle response is essentially too fast. As in you floor the throttle, the piston quickly too quickly, creating a bog a half second after the throttle is snapped open. >>> "Steve Carter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/21/03 08:20AM >>> Fellow spitters, I'm still puzzled over the mysteries of what oil to use in my dashpots (mkII spit on twin SU HS2s) as far as I can figure, lighter dashpot oil is better, but no dashpot oil is bad... How do I judge the tradeoff? Can anyone explain this in simple terms to a simpleton like me?! ----------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this communication may be confidential, is intended only for the use of the recipient named above, and may be legally privileged.
