To Group,
I previously asked about break-in  oil, got no responses. So, if I don’t hear otherwise, I will use straight 30W oil for the first 3-5 hours then switch to Mobile One synthetic, maybe 20W-50W. Thanks.

Rotary engines do not require break in.
Stick with Mobile one or Idemitsu rotary engine oil.
Mix 2 cycle oil with the fuel one ounce per gallon.

Hi Paul,
   What is one ounce per gallon in metric units (for those of us in the rest of the world)
   Chris.


Good question. If in doubt I go to my favorite web site :)

http://www.onlineconversion.com/volume.htm

4 liters is about one gallon US so 1 ounce liquid US is about 30 cc in the French system :)

30/4 is 7.5 so 7.5 cc per liter will work fine.


BTW

I got to tell you something. I was getting my ignition system ready to demo
at Sun n Fun and I had a HV coil failure. Panic set in. I had a old Bosch coil
laying around so I cut it open and poured the oil out. I scavenged the HV section
and installed it in the Lamar ignition. Worked like a charm. Those Germans make
nice stuff. Unlike the junk that comes from china :)

It started working again just a few minutes ago. It is Thursday here in the US and I got to
get on a plane for Florida Sunday night. What a relief :)
