Mark's link is very interesting, indeed. Last summer I dumped some Yamalube injector oil for an outboard into the oil tanks of my Yamaha G1 golf cart and my EZ-Go 2 cycle as well. The Yamaha gave up the ghost last week, and I was blaming old age and abuse. The mechanic I talked to on the phone suggested a failure in the oiling system. It might have been the oil.

That Yamalube went in on top of some other 2 cycle oil, I don't remember what, but with a TCIII classification. But the G1 thins its mixture out at some times to as little as 300 to 1. The EZ-Go is an oil-hog by comparison at 1:128 or so. It's still going strong. Maybe I should have paid attention to the warnings in the manual.

Years ago my dad burned the powerhead out of my McCullogh Pro-850 chain saw by using gas mixed for his Homelite, 40:1, I believe. If I remember right this McCullogh is the only one in the line to require 28:1 gas:oil mix. The power head cost $450., a costly lesson.
