Wouldnt exactly say its fresh.....  like 1970 fresh maybe

NEwer 898's recirculate oil so why cant i use it twice ? i dotn like messing with the thumbs, incase something goes pear shaped with the pilgram, reckon they would be like rocking horse to fix.

No problems backing off the top end, won't hurt the pump. The thumb screws just regulate the drops per second on the outgoing. Too much to the top end just runs down the guides and gets combusted or oils the plug.

back in 1979 i purchased T Wigzels old CR125 76/77 MODEL from A kammer, that thing was real quick and on the super (pb) ( no methanol)we had a drag race at torrens island CR125 vs YZ465 and there was nothing in it, and yes the 465 had its changes to get it on tap, I wish i still had that CR125 stupidly sold it to help pay for the RM250X :'(

 I went to see a friend who works for Gulf Weston & asked "what do you recommend for my XT500 on methanol " he gave me 5 litres of " GW Comp 50 plus" that he said they use in there sponsorship for methanol burning Harley D drag bikes. I've been using it , no probs.  visc. 25-70.
 Gave me a super price toO!
cheers pancho.

Does all of the previous info still apply (to some extent) to old four strokes also?
