RE: Lead substitute. I don't think you need it either. Valve seat
recession is mostly a product of engine speed, e.g. it will happen
faster on a high speed engine than a low speed one. Plus, you
aren't going to put a lot of hours on that unit anyway, nor work
it 8 hours a day, five days a week for years on end. With a hobby
tractor, the owner would be long dead before any significant
damage is done

RE: Motor oil or ATF in the fuel, I'm agin it! Im my experience, it
just makes carbon deposits. I've never heard of adding 2-stroke
oil though. They have some lubricity additives that actually
might be benificial and not leave many deposits. Still, speaking
generically, it's unnecessary, IMHO. Valve stem lubrication
comes from the lube oil inside the engine. We already discussed
seat issues. Save you money for stuff lots more cool.
