Hi,
I currently use Marvel Mystery oil in my TR6, partly because here in the
Northern Indiana, we have a lot of colder mornings, and it (Mystery oil)
doesn't cause problems during the warm-up stage like 10w30 seems to do. A
lot of people seem to prefer the 10w30, and put up with its colder weather
drawbacks, but I've never heard of anyone using 10w30 synthetic oil like
Mobil 1, which wouldn't have the cold weather problems of the fossil oils
since it flows about the same throughout the entire temperature range.
Just curious if anyone is using a sythetic oil......

If the response is _too_ fast, it will create a lean bog when you
suddenly step on the throttle. And, a "moderate" response may actually
provide better actual throttle response, since the main result is to
richen the mixture, and a slightly rich mixture makes more power than a
'perfect' mixture.
On my TR3A, in warm weather and in it's current (admittedly rather
strange) state of tune, I seem to get noticeably better throttle
response with heavy oil (40w) in the dashpots. I've experimented with
lighter oils (all the way down to 5w), and unless I set the jets on the
rich side, I just don't get the same "kick in the pants".
