TCW-III and Carbon Buildup

Re: TCW-III and Carbon Buildup

I lean more towards TMD's outlook on this, though I am not trying to get jumped. I have moved lots and lots of Force outboards. I have also rebuilt lots and lots of Force outboards. I cannot even begin to preach about any outboard make or model EXCEPT Force. <br /> Now, that being said, I strongly recomend to everyone that comes to me to use Quicksilver oil 50:1 . But, let me compromise. <br /> Some of my customer's complain that the Quicksilver oil is too expensive to run on an older Force motor. The blue two-stroke oil at Walmart is just fine, but I ask them to run it at 40:1 to be safe. We can always decarb the motor as maintenance, you can't maintance away worn internal engine components.<br /> Bottom line for me? My boats & motors are toys. When the day comes that I can no longer afford to spend the extra bucks to spoil my toys, I will get rid of them and let some new guy enjoy the love affair.

Never in my wildest imagination have I ever understood why someone would spend so much for a toy and then see how cheeply he can maintain it or not maintain it at all! But it happens every day!!

HasDudeBeenLubed, we're talking about an engine that rarely makes it to 250-300hrs anyway...If the Force guys ran synthetic in their engines, they would still be competative in the market place. Also, a good share of the Force engines bought, were purchased by entry-level buyers-just as they were intended, and unfortunatly those people weren't the best at PM, as they had a learning curve to contend with, and some might not have had anybody like the people on this site, to help out....<br />Those of us that do, have good reason to pay 20.00/gal for the better oil, and I've found it very hard to convince(sp?) people their engine will flat-out last longer with less problems over-all, but I'm working on that, and hope to have everyone converted by December of '04..........

Re: TCW-III and Carbon Buildup

Why use FICHT RAM it in a 50:1 premix if this oil was engineered to be injected to the engine appart from the gasoline? How does it compare to XD-25? Finally, will it be good for my Chrysler 20 HP?
