<DIV>I (and many others in the northeast) have been using S&W w/ 2% Castor
and 17% synthetic (Klotz) in all engines for close to 20 years - YS 2C and 4C,
OS 2C and 4C, Webra 2C, ST 2C. And for the majority of that time,
running dry at the end of the day, and lubing w/ Mobil 1 synthetic or Amsoil
MP.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Never a problem with diaphragms, pumps, or varnish buildup. After a
long period of rest, there is occasionally some added drag on the bearings, or
(apparently) a little bit of build up in the pump/fuel supply requiring a
richer needed for a couple minutes. Bearing life and general
corrosion/coloration in the engines is definitely better using the 2%
castor.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Like Matt K said....find something that works and stick with it.</DIV>

<DIV>What is the effect of castor oil on the pump diafragm? I
understood that we can not use Castor oil in YS because of the diaframs and
regulators parts. I am not sure now if castor oil couls cause
similar problems in OS 140 RX pump and the and the Perry pump.
