[Roadsters] carbuertor

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Linda,

Not to be a s___ a__, but "whenever they need it".  Check regularly.  If you 
drive daily, check weekly at first.  You'll get the frequency.  The oil does 
get used up -- not sure by what mechanism -- but I've always noticed I need 
to refill more frequently than I would have thought.

How often do you fill? I wondered where the oil went, seems I have to fill 
more than I would expect. I use about 1 capful of MMO
