Although this seems to work fine in the HS2 carbs in the Spitfire, it
does NOT give me a decent accellerator pump effect in the HIF4s in the MG.
I purchased a tiny bottle of SU damper fluid for $7, and I am trying
that. It is certainly more viscous than the MMO and less than 20W50 at
60 degrees.
I'll let the list know my conclusions (like it or not! <g>)
