After-run oil?

[Phantom]

I heard Doc say that it's important to use an after-run oil in the Savage,
and he uses Marvel Mystery Oil. The question is, how exactly do you use the
oil?

Thanks,
Brian

After-run oil is important in ANY nitro engine. Steps I take after running
engine:

1. After motor quits from running out of fuel, continue to try and start
the engine until it no longer pops. This will ensure that all the fuel is
out of the crankcase. Alcohol is hydroscopic and absorbs moisture, hence
any leftover fuel will attract water and increase the potential for rust.

2. Remove airfilter and open carb all the way.

3. Squirt some MMO down the carb. 10-15 drops of MMO is sufficient.

4. Using pullstart or rotostart, turn engine a few times to distribute the
oil thru the engine.

5. Close carb.

6. Reattach air filter.

This protects the internals from rust and also provides startup lubrication
for the next time you'll run it. MMO has a nice solvent package in it as
well and it will actually clean your motor internals as it sits and burns
off.

HTH,

Thanks, Doc. Sounds like good advice.

It's worked for me so far. The S-25 now has 10+ gallons on it and still has
full power and great pinch. The Sportwerks .26's have around 4 gallons
(truggy) and maybe a gallon (buggy) and both still run like new.

The only thing to watch on the Savages when using after run is the one-way
bearing, which is inherently weak. If she floods on startup d/t the oil +
fuel in the crankcase the one way will crap out. On my Savage, I pop the
glow plug out, flip er' upside down and run the roto for a few seconds to
blow the oil out of the crankcase before I try to start it. The .26's in my
other vehix don't have this problem as the Sportwerks .26 one-way is
indestructible.

The bearing on the t-maxx has same prob

Stock one-way with the EZ-Start?

I have heard that from some people, and others state that it's
indestructible. Interesting!

When we first got our T-Maxx, I flooded the motor while trying to start it,
and destroyed the bearing. I learned quickly to pull the plug and run the
oil and fuel out before trying to start it.
