Re: Klotz Super Techniplate

Thanks for the inputs, Rob & Jeff. Glad your experience is associated with long time usage, too. Guess I'll continue to use it (I have been for the last year - with no problems - but when you start hearing negative inputs, you wonder if you should throw out what you've already got stocked-up on and ...

Klotz Super Techniplate

I've had inputs from a couple sources that this Klotz Super Techniplate is junk, and does not lubricate well. I would like to try and get some others inputs on this. Have you run your engine(s) very long on it, and checked the bearings afterwards, or had any problems?

Thanks

The reason is I hav...

Re: VKA Web Site Posts

I just read all the posts under this topic, and can't help but throw in my hat with the way Dean Seavers expressed the entirety of situation, expressed as only a superb writer could do. His understanding and level-headed judgments, I have to say, is the most well thought-out presentation on this ent...

Re: Oil Gas Ratio for West Bend ???

Rich, I think that's about right (for gas). I've been running a TAD (O.K. let's find out what a TAD actually is) richer....16:1 is 8 oz oil to 1 gallon gas. I've been using 9 oz Klotz Super Techniplate to the gallon, but I foul plugs rather regularly, so I'm going to go to 16:1 or a TAD less. :D Oh,...
