Two stroke Oil ?

Two stroke Oil ?
I have a question as to adding the two stroke oil to the fuel. Since I nought the truck I have been running a pint of two storke oil and the truck doesn't crank right over. My friend who has the same truck can start it in a few seconds where mine will crank over for an additional 10 seconds. I changed out the fuel filter and it solved the problem for a little while but it went back to the hard starts. I'm afraid during the winter that I am going to put alot of strees on the starter. any body have any issues running the two stroke oil?

I ran it for a week and had no problems. if you think that might be the culprit, why not try a different additive like lucas for a couple weeks, after two tanks change the filter to get all or atleast the majority of the two stroke out of the tank. 5-8 ounces of lucas per tanks hould be all you need.

RE: Two stroke Oil ?
You did not say what year truck you have so please fil in your sig file so we can better help you. Also 2 cycle oil does not always work in the newer engines but it does seem to work good in most pre 2004.5 engines. The last time I used it in my 06 my injectors didn't like it so I went back to using nothing but 6-8 oz of Lucas. But when I did use it I never had a problem with it starting nor have I heard of it doing so to any one else. Oh how much 2 cycle are you adding to your fuel? The most you need to add is 1 oz per gallon of diesel fuel and also make sure that its ashless & TCW-3 rated.
