    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 :)

Hello Paul

This is a bit late, but best of luck with the demo. It sounds like a huge improvement on currently available systems.

Best Regards,

Erik in Parkes, Australia.

Hey Erik, thanks again for the tour through the dish. I really enjoyed that and it
was very educational.

I am amazed and stunned about this new ign system. I learn new things about it's capabilities each
day. I simplified  it and simplified it and it justs keeps working better and better.
It is also getting cheaper to produce.

It is a major invention right up there with the Kettering ignition invention in 1920.
Kettering just did not have the silicon chips we have today.
