Sorry about the pollution John, when I bought it I was given a gallon of "special oil", I think it was Petrol and SAE20 with a bit of Redex. I didn`t notice the smoke, because I was most likely praying that it kept going, and anyway it was behind. The big snag was if it oiled up and you decided to keep going, you had to pedal, and they were very low geared. You welcomed every downhill for a freewheeling rest. When I was east of India at the ratepayers expense, we had some Sexton S.P`s (and Priests) and they really smoked on start-up. They were Pratt and Whitney radials, and if they had been stood a while you had to manually turn them two full revolutions by hand to clear the oil from the lower cylinders,then hand start them on inertia starters, by then you didn`t care about the smoke. Just a quiet prayer of thanks to P&W that it started!! Sorry for going on, Cheers, Bill.
