2-stroke oil question (would it be really bad if I used a certain type of oil?)

[MAZ]

Is Stihl Ultra okay for my Baja engine?

Its fully synthetic and designed for 2-stroke engines (I use it in my strimmer, blower, hedgecutter, combi unit)

Some info on the oil:

I'm wanting to clean out the baja's engine and then lube it up with the oil that I'll be using when I'm actually running the baja.

Is it suitable though???!

Cheers

I've had a fair few views on this but no replies as yet :/

I'm kinda thinking I'll just risk using it - I don't even know if the engine works - especially as there's a nick on the piston (right near the triangle)

Could some grit have got in there and caused that??

Surely it couldn't make the engine run that terribly if I did use it??

*feeling lost*

the stihl oil will be fine

[(-:AD:-)]

Yeah. Its good oil.

Many people use it.

The normal red stuff is good enough for a standard engine

It looks abit grubby in the bottom end there maz, Could do with a clean an rebuild.

if you have a flywheel puller its quite easy.

Do you fancy abit of home porting? An easy mod is to take 3mm from the inlet side of the piston skirt (opposite side of arrow) I've done this using a hand file.

I am totally not feeling brave enough to attempt something like that yet lol

Rebuilding a 2-stroke engine is a first for me as it is so I'll be happy with just getting the thing running before attempting any mods

The engine is a bit grubby and I am in the process of doing a rebuild on it - just needed to get some oil sorted for it (can check that off the list now )

Looks like I'll have to order a few bits after christmas now though :/
