For what it may be worth, Amsoil has the best
2 cycle oil on the market, and it is very forgiving. The suggest 100 to
one in lawn equipment, many using less very sucessfully. This product may
not builf up in the crankcase, but will give supperior protection. Also,
you can safely tripple anutmotive drain entervals using their
premium oil, and their oil filter. The oil filter is the first to use
nano-fiber, supperior cleaning and no restriction. Very husky can, you
will not loose it.Amsoil can be purchased factory direst as a perferred
customer, sent from 9 distribution centers in US. I get product neext day
here in Florida from Orlando. Personally have used these prodducts for
over 25 years, never disapoined in anything they offer. I can't understand
why anyone would use anthing less.

I have been using a ratio of 1:140 for
some time and still getting an increase in the oil pan. I do not run above
5500-5600 engine rpm. My engine is a 1986 13B. Yvon.

Just talked to John again. Engine emergency caused by
clogged fuel filters (John mentioned debris caused by some fuel tank work of
some sort?). Saw fuel pressure fluctuations on EM2 and increased EGTs
then rpm started falling. After landing, John found the clogged
filters & cleaned them out. That procedure called for closing a
shutoff valve from the tanks. After cleaning the filters, he forgot to
turn the shutoff valves back on, hence the failure to start. He
eventually noticed that fuel pressure was super low and that eventually
jogged the memory of the shutoff valves. After opening them,
the engine started immediately.
The RPM anomaly is still a
mystery & I didn't think to ask him if that was back to normal.
I'm sure we will hear more later. I'm kind of amazed that the engine
still had good compression after 50 gallons of fuel with no oil added was
used.
Just random thoughts: I'm thinking I should cut back on
the amount of oil I add. I'm still accumulating 2 stroke in the
crankcase when using 3/4 oz per gallon of gas. Think I'll go to 1/2 oz
/ gal. on Renesis. Peripheral exhaust port 13Bs need more oil than
Renesis but 1 oz/gal is probably overkill.

Called John to see if I could help. What a saga!
Lots of indications that it is clogged fuel system
somewhere but also some symptoms that occurred simultaneously that make
no sense at all (like a double rpm indication). John says
compression is good/normal in spite of two fuel stops with no oil added
to gas (forgot). Engine was running normal at shutdown after
emergency landing but now won't start. Unfortunately John has none
of the EC2 upgrades including ignition & injector diagnostics and
has not tried checking for spark while cranking since that is a 2 man
job. I forgot to ask if he had tried the backup on EC2
controller but I assume he did.

Guys, I just got a call from John Slade. He had to
do an emergency landing in Graystone 17FL
(Ocala) FL. His engine will not start again, and he
needs someone with rotary experience to talk to. His cel # is
860-271-3941. Please give him a call if you can help in any
way.
