If you have any concern of fuel leaking into your crankcase keep an eye on your oil level and how your oil comes out during a change. My guess would be yours is fine.

Then there is nothing for me to worry about the oil came out clean just like it went in I changed it a week ago and there was no fuel smell and was no carbon just the normal color change. I love Lucas oil its is great stuff!

Re: Sounds of a GZ trying to start

Valves out of adjustment can also do that.

When you say "as is mine" I assume you are saying your oil is coming out opaque after 3000 miles. If that is the case then your statement of "...the oil came out clean just like it went in.." is not correct. It went in golden and transpartent and came out black and opaque correct?

The confusion may be that you are expecting to see grit (or whatever) in your oil. That should not happen. It should still be smooth. Carbon from combustion turns it black but if there was anything "chunkier" (for lack of a better term) in the oil, it would ruin your engine.
Yup, even used oil should still be smooth on your fingers. An ex bro of mine was told by a so-called mechanic changing oil was not needed until you could feel the grit between your fingers. Guess he took it to heart and just added oil now and again. 4 oil changes in 100,000 miles equals a very expensive rebuild. He then proceeded to run the newly rebuilt engine for 20,000 before an oil change. Brilliant !!

Re: Sounds of a GZ trying to start

Sounds great !

But if this is the sound you wanted to upload - it's 452 Mb according to the information, and a .wav file as well -
I though that didn't work, with a smaller .wav ... :??:

Re: Sounds of a GZ trying to start

Sorry about that, I saw it was wrong but didn't get to delete it in time.
I hit "back" from an edit and somehow thought I hadn't submitted it.

1) your file is less than ½ Mb
2) it's a WMA not a WAV.

My post is out of order, inappropriate, inaccurate, totally besides the point etc. so, my apologies.

Me --> :retard:
