Anyone tried wd40?

What about wd 4
for this purpose

You can safely use SAE 30 Grade oil or your normal 2T lube oil (any brand available). All work, the idea is to displace moisture and any other byproducts of combustion from the metal inside the engine without damaging the rubber or silicon parts.
Even your singer (or other brand) machine oil will work but it does not stick on to metal parts for long and runs hence l have stopped using this one.
There are people who swear by WD 40 and then there are some who swear at it. Take your pick      

What is 2t oil? Could you please suggest any brand name for ease of identification?

castrol has 2t oil

Just go to any fuel filling station and ask them for "two stroke engine oil". You can find a verity of brands as Kartik mentioned Castrol, Shell, Mobil, Servo, Motul etc..

thanks ANTA. BTW "speedracer" can u assure me that 2t oil is perfect for after run oil substitute..?
i am really scared and dont wanna mess around with my engine.

yup it will be really good plus ensure that there is no fuel left in the engine for that kill your engine by pinching the fuel pipe then remove it and without connecting the fuel pipe put in the igniter and start your engine this will eliminate even the last traces of the fuel then put in the 2t oil from carb opening and turn your engine one or two times that will be enough if you dont find time to run your car weekly during your board exams you can hand it over to me i'll run it (jokes apart)
just turn your engine one or two times even if you dont run it......do it weekly and add oil to it before turning and doit weekly.....

Guys anyone know whats the power consumption  of a typical glow plug like O.S 8. (in Ampere,also please mention whether its per second or hr)

You don't need to give constant power to a glow plug .
the power is given via glow igniter just to heat it up after that the small spring in it will conserve the heat from ignition itself.

4A i guess at instant...


BTW kartik, if u want to have some fun with my car, you are most welcome to my home anytime.....

Ok then we will meet sometime after the boards.

Great, get some car by then and some other friends of mine have same plans, we can arrange kinda teen racing club then...

i just wanted to know... if you use hotter plugs, the motor as a tendency to run richer (considering the same tuning is used in both cases)...
also, you say that hotter plugs mean hotter engines... but richer motors run more fuel through so the the fuel itself has a cooler effect. then isnt the temp increase countered?

and what is the concept of after use oil?

cheers
