Yeah, cheers tom i was having a proper blonde moment thinking diesel or petrol or 2-stroke mix.....

[Mesterh]

Paraffin or kerosene (same thing)

 

You need to swill it out loads of times on an 020 to flush out most of the crap.

 

Ive done the above then opened up the crankcases to still find loads of bits of sawdust, there are lots of crooks and granies in the casing.

Yeah its my 088 thats not oiling so i'll go buy 5ltrs:lol:

[Mesterh]

Lol let me buy some shares with BP first then.

 

 

I bet a good steam cleaning would sort it best tbh.

 

But if you fck your seals/gaskets up dont blame my poor advice.

I could stick it on the back of the truck and go for a car wash, 2 birds 1 stone like:lol:

I used a bit of mix once when i had a blocked oiler, but its worth having the pick up pipe out and check its not blocked before pouring stuff in the tank i reckon.

that.

 

Ive never had any success really in unblocking an oil pump by tryin to flush the tank.

 

Dunno how the 088 oil system works pu if it isnt oiling I would remove the pump clean it out and the oil feed line.

 

Will work then for another 10 years:thumbup:
