I have just put the carb back on after fitting an LCB and RC40 exhaust. I need to fill the dash pot.

I knoe what level to fill it to but my question is what kind of oil is best I have read similar posts but could not find any now, I have had 3 in 1, engine oil etc. all recomended.

Any advice greatly welcomed.

My favourite is 3 in 1 as it's not affected by the cold like engine oil, but realy what yo have lying round the garage :cheese:

no wd40 is far too thin..and I believe will evaporate off to leave a residue
