: I have a mh 50, Iam now using a lead additive in my gas. I had a Min.- Moline-BF Avery.mod BF. : I never used any lead in it. I devoloped a lot of oil burnning problems. I took the motor apart expecting to see a lot of piston wear. beleive it or not the pistons looked very good. (rings too) which leads me to beleive that oil got in through to valve stems. : now I hear that putting lead additives is not allways the best for an engine. I sure would like other opinions. whats yours? :My Farmall would start tp crap out when it warmed up. I rebuilt the carb, I timed it, I cleaned up the mag. I set the valves, nothing helped, after 5 min it would loose power & beleive it or not it would build up pressure in the gas tank. It would pop when I would take the cap off, or would squirt fuel put the vent. Found out it had sticking valves, took off the head & cleaned the guides & stems,(looked shiny & clean) have used lead substitute since & runs like new or better.
