michigan_soler Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Umm I'm guessing I'm dumb but castor oil? Is that the normal 2 cycle mix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosBanshee44 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Hmm don't think the weather had a effect on it not to bust your balls but you didn't mix tranny oil in the gas did you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbanshee Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 yeah looks like you might have mixed it with tranny oil on accident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Caster oil seperates out of the fuel around 30-35 deg. Run Klotz Supertechniplate. 80%synthetic 20% benol caster oil. It doesnt seperate out at low temps. As long as the oil doesnt dry and get gummy it should be ok and run through the carbs. When you leave caster oil out it gets real gummy. That is when it starts causing problems. I alwas get on by banshee and shake it side to side standing on the foot pegs just to make sure though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought some castor 927, needed to complete my 5 gallons, and i noticed that the new and old oil was two different colors. One was like a honey gold and the other was like a brownish gold color. I thought that was strange. Wish i would of taken pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 We've noticed the change in castor's color too. But we've also tested castor and klotz and I think the klotz separated out after awhile. I still use it and just shake the bike up before starting it.

AKheathen Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 927 has an additive to prevent separation in cold temps, and with higher sg fuels....i run torco 100%syn. and tested it past -30f, as well with avgas and long storage. no issues here.

ree_ree Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Lol yes I'm sure I didn't put tranny fluid in my gas... I don't even keep trany fluid around unless I'm bout to change it out. It's 100% castor 927. Even when it's around 40-45ish it's doing this. I just went to wp2 oil @ 50:1 and have had no proble s what so ever. It just smells like shit.

jbooker82 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Both Maxima and Klotz give waring about seperation at lower temps. The Supertechniplate DOESN'T seperate out. It is 80% synthetic and 20% benol caster oil. I havnt had any issues with it. http://www.maximausa.com/products/2stroke/castor927.asp Not intended for use in oil injection systems. When blending with alcohol it normally requires more oil. Care must be exercised when blending with low specific gravity (below 0.730) race gasoline and in temperatures below 35ºF as separation may occur. Separation may also occur in alcohol containing a high percentage of nitromethane. Check before using. http://www.klotzlube.com/techsheet.asp?ID=2&submit2=View Blends with gasoline, E-85, methanol alcohol and stays in suspension above 35°F. Will not blend with petroleum oils or some synthetic lubricants; will blend with Klotz Original TechniPlate® and Super TechniPlate®. http://www.klotzlube.com/techsheet.asp?ID=44&submit2=View Blends with gasoline, E-85, methanol alcohol, Nitromethane Original TechniPlate® and BēNOL® and stays in suspension. Will not blend with petroleum oils or some synthetic lubricants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
