I run 10w-30 full syn in all my air cooled engines and change once a year or maybe 2 years with little use. Some are new some older used for different chores around the place. I mow a lot of grass. As far as I see it, all the bla bla on air cooled engines running hotter and all is just that......bla bla. I have 2 non contact Infrared/laser thermometers both working fine and recording withing a few degrees of each other. I have over half a dozen 4 cycle air cooled machines with 5 of them (Honda 18, BS 18, 20, 22, and 26 Vanguard) being V twins on lawn mowers or utility vehicles..
Numerous times, on the hottest days here in N. TX., I measured all over the machines after a hard mowing and the max temp I found on the engine was the crankcase and it was 187F with the mufflers running between 550 and 600F. My 2011 Silverado 1500 4.8 V8 has 2 electric fans and the temp gauge sits rock solid at 210!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
