I'm not sure about mixing the oil.

Tina, the bottom end of a 2 stroke is lubes with the oil that's mixed with the petrol, only the gearbox has oil in it.

To be honest, he'd be better running it on modern synthetic 2T oil - nothing smells better than Motul - even Castrol!

Don't put a dash of R40 in the fuel either, it's castor based and won't mix well with the 2T oil. At best it will foul up the plugs and at worst the reeds will get gummed up and it'll blow back up through the carb, and a seize will follow.

Thanks T & s1opp.. had me a word with a mate at work.. he run a LC on A747 but had to mix it in the petrol... found it to thick to use in the oil tank the pump could not cope with it.. seized the engine up in the end..

after looking up racing oils i have found that castrol A747 is for liquid cooled two strokes... not air cooled ones.

and like s1opp said, would be better off getting a full synthetic oil like castrol TTS Oil

or

the castrol super TT mineral based one..
