I have been using automatic tranny fluid for a couple years. Another
advantage is that it does not attack rubber. There is a rubber o-ring
around the needle housing and regular oil will eventually eat it up.

Subject: Carbs rebuilt and it still sputters at low RPM (cont.)
Several responses came back regarding the oil used in the dashpots.
First, yes the dashpots were refilled after the rebuild.
Second, at the recommendation of my mechanic, I have been using
transmission fluid. His rationale is that no matter what the
temperature, transmission fluid will stay the same viscosity and
therefore perform the same.
Any opinions on that?
