I have a 4hp Ferro two stroke like your top pictures. I just started it. I need to know what the amount of 30wt Non detergent oil is. I started out by putting in enough to come to the middle of he crank. I think this might be too much. Any ideas? Lots of smoke. |

Two cycle engines don't have a oil level in the base. The intake gasses go through the base on the way to the cylinder. Your time and oil wasen't wasted, you preoiled the bearings! Drain it all out, let it drip a while then poor oil in the tank that is off to the side of the base. It is supposed to be pressured up and deliver oil to a galery of sight glases for each point to be oiled. It is strongly recommended that you modify this system , install oilers for the connecting rods, grease cups on the mains and mix oil with the gas. Call on me if I can help! |

While I buy into using grease cups on the mains I don't use modern wheel bearing grease it is too lquid for the bearings and it will make a much bigger mess than waterpump grease which is a harder grease. 1/4 Turn about once every 20-30 minutes. I don't use any oilers. The early makers, Lathrop was the one exception I know of who never bought into oil in the fuel idea. His customers did use 40:1 as they didn't want to be bothered with cleaning and filling oilers that really didn't work all that well. Makers by 1911/12 would no longer garantee their engines unless you mixed oil in the fuel 1 Pint to five gallons. Save the parts you remove as they are part of the value of the engine as an antique. Get old time waterpump grease. Mix the oil in the gasoline 40:1 throughly before you pour into the fuel tank. Remember if the fuel sits in the tank for a several days unused the oil will tend to separate out and you will need to stir it up well if you are to maintain the oil fuel mixture sufficiently to lube the piston. Generally the check valve in the base is all clogged up so crankcase pressure wont pump oil up to the drippers and it needs to be cleaned. The weighted valve on the filler pipe often is messed up and even if the check valve is working there is so much leakage that no pressure builds up over the oil in the storage tank. In any case if you drip and mix oil in the fuel you will probably way over oil and just carbon up the engine. Don't use the drippers polish them up and keep them as a part of the engine but don't count on them for anything but trouble if you try to use them. |

Photos attached to end of original album of upgrade to Ferro "portable engine" as close as I can get, with modifications, to early literature on those sold out of Sydney Australia. This engine will be at National rally in March 05 and runs like a clock, no saltwater useage, only ever as a stationary engine driving a shearing plant!!!!http://community.webshots.com/album/38212584UoVROW
