Maybe, I'm wrong but seems to me one thing the unleaded gas lacks was the
lubrication properties of leaded gas involving the valve guides and seats.
Since unleaded came about, I've ran a bit of synthetic 2 stroke oil in with
the gas to help with the lubrication loss. Don't rat me off to the DEQ,
but this is the same idea from back in the 50's with additives used as a
top oil such as Bardahl. This might cool things off on combustion also.
So far no trouble but I don't drive my old stuff that much. I based my
opinion with an oldtime mechanic who had been around circle track racing
and he felt that the bit of synthetic would help where you didn't have
hardened seats and guides. So far everything is living and running, so
maybe he was correct.
