Thanx, Gerard...
Well...Kendel has a lot of good advice on
this one and keeps finding stuff like the
loose filter mounting, etc. so he's gettin'
there.
A Haynes or Bentley manual so he can
become more familiar and he should be
up and running, all notwithstanding.
And, you can use a slightly warmer spark plug in an "oil burning"
cylinder temporarily until you can get
around to having the proper mechanical
work done. Just don't "push" the engine.
You may find however, an inclination for
the oil burning cylinder to "pinking" on
acceleration considering a goodly amount
of oil in the combustion process will dilute
the octane to that extent...a matter of try
it and see.
A good advantage of the SU (variable choke) carburettor is that it is
very user
friendly and will adjust itself to engine
"condition" (vacuum the engine is capable
of producing) by design. Gerard is absolutely correct in that these
engines will continue to run very nicely, even when
oil burning to some extent and down on
power and/or fuel economy....but they will
run and get you around assuming no
consistently high highway rpm's/loading.
And BTW....welcome to the list, Kendel! :)
Cap'n. Bob
