Is anyone using fuel additives in the C-145, i.e., MMO, TCP, Synthetic 2 cycle oil? I have been using 100% synthetic 2 cycle oil (4 oz to 10 gals) in my Champ C-85 for the past 18 months or so. The 2 cycle oil is supposed to improve valve lubrication. I have been unable to find auto gas without alco...

However, I suspected the fuel was vaporizing just prior to the carb (as the fuel line passes by the left side ...

I am in the process of searching for a 170B to purchase. The research I have conducted established that there are a number of different engine variants in use in the 170 fleet. I am interested in opinions regarding the Franklin 220 HP engine. I have heard from Stinson drivers that the Franklin might...
