Are you talking abou the oil in the carb dashpots?
I just use a can of 3-in-1, since it's relatively
light, and convenient.
But I think something like 10W-40 motor oil would be
too thick.
And paying $$$ for a special bottle of genuine
official limited-signature-edition carb dashpot oil
(imported form England) is a bit silly.
