David, Thanks for that observation. Never thought of that. Question (belying my ignorance)...how does oil burn (by design) in a two cycle engine?
What I am getting at is that INJECTING the oil in a 4 cycle MAY have a different effect on the end result (ash, etc) than however it burns in a two cycle engine. Just a theory and perhaps we will never know till the post-mortem is done on the AKP-Wagen's engine.
