Buy an ag tread tire.

Straight Dino 30w or 15w40 will work just fine in your Kawi. As far as Syn oil goes anything at a 30w or more will fit the bill. Don't fret the syn or dino part. Check the oil level before you use the machine for the day. Top it off if needed. 99% of engines that I replace were run low or out of...

Plain black fuel line from the local auto parts store works really good and lasts for years.

Try Mobil1 in 10w40.

Have you considered a syn diesel oil in 5w40? How about Dino diesel oil in 15w40. Amsoil is good stuff however it is a moot point to dump it at 15 hours of use.

Pull out the driveshaft and clean it. Will have some old hard grease in there.

It appears that this engine is still breaking in with only 1300 miles. Iron and copper levels are up however not to a degree that would indicate an internal problem. Current lead level is less than half of the samples from 8/1 and 11/28. The old oil was dark and appeared to have maybe some thin...

15w40 oil is great for air cooled engines. I have used it for years.

Don't sweat it. That 5w30 oil is still a 30 weight so all is good. That oil will do it's job no problem.

The ones that I hit the target with!!

A 20 or 12 gauge scattergun with #4 buck or BB's will fit the bill quite well. Ye olde scattergun regardless of capacity or type will get the job done. Most likely there will not be time to aim, just point and shoot. A good example of this is the "Trench Broom" used by our Doughboys in WW1. The...

You are doing it right. Keeping your eye on the oil Try Mobil 1 0w30. That stuff is great for cold weather starts and protection.

Buy a bottle of Amsoil Saber and you will be happy. Champion Brands 2 stroke is a close second. I ran both brands of oil in my 2 stroke engines. Amsoil at 100:1 and the Champion at 50:1 all mixed with 91 or 93 octane. I ran Echo 2601 grass trimmers and various Stihl grass trimmers and chainsaws...

Amen to that Sabre oil, good stuff!!

Use any brand of oil that you want. 10w30, 10w40, 15w40, 5w40, straight 30, even 15w50. Dino 15w40 is the best value for protection and price. Good ol' 30 weight is right up there to. What is most important is not the brand or weight but checking the oil level in your engine before you start it...
