Fuel fo ASK 14 motorglider
Just bought an ASK 14 motorglider and reading the flight manual
etc. The fuel required is noted as octane 80 normal gasoline mixed with two stroke oil at a ratio of 20/1. The chap that owned it before me ran it on normal unleaded with shell vsx at a ration of 30/1. I’m sure this is ok but I wanted to see what anyone else currently uses? Thanks G |

Thanks G The oil to gas ratio is function of oil type and not fundamental to a 2 stroke engine design. The 20:1 ratio sounds like conventional oil and not synthetic. Most pure synthetics are 50:1. A down side to conventional oil is they burn very dirty with lots carbon buildup in the cylinder, ports and are very prone to fouling the plug Synthetics burn much cleaner though not perfect. Buzz |

possible scammer?
Just got an email about my W&W ad for a PowerFlarm Portable
from a "Frank Taylor" in the MN area (area code 507). The grammar is just a little off, he asks what my asking price is even though it is right in the ad, and he wants to pay with a Bank of America certified check. Has anyone else out there been contacted by this guy? I checked the SSA member directory, and there are no matches for a Frank Taylor. I smell a scam. RO |
