James, yer right, mate. As I said:
"According to the design specs. - 20W oil is what is supposed to be in ZS
carburettor dashpots. Other things work, however. The purpose of the oil is
to dampen the rise and fall of the piston."
Maybe I should have said "motion of the piston" ?? BTW - SU's and ZS's work
on the same "air pressure/vacuum" principle. Cheers.
