The question about the AMSOIL SABER 100:1 came up over on SCREAMANDFLY. One guy got ahold of an MDSE list on it and it is just a basic dino oil with a few synthetic additives. They tried to get some info from AMSOIL, but all they got was some smoke and mirrors regarding detonation and oil ratios. And when it comes down to it, AMSOIL simply says you can run it up to 100:1 but for best results follow the manufacturers reccomendations. I'll just stick with my PENNSOIL blend, it's done me right for years in my pre-mix applications.

As for the pump WILLY, it is mounted into the side of the oil tank. It opos into a slot in the side of the bottle. And the float switch is in the engine mounted tank. The YAMAHAS/SUZUKIS use a BRONZE gear on the crank and a stainless drive gear at least, so that area is pretty reliable. The main worry to me is those 15+ year old electrical components that have probably spent there life around saltwater all there lives.

I'm still running the oil injection on my 1986 V6 and start each season like MJ described by running off of a couple of portable tanks of premix first. I figure that this also will help to rule out any fuel problems that may have developed in the built in tank over the winter.

Just for you WILLY, might help you get a better understanding of your YAMAHAS oiler.
