If my engine is going to sit for a while I put a few drops of the Novarossi oil into the carb. It's probably just mineral oil aka sewing machine oil but the part I like is that the engine starts up right away. Not like a lot of other oils like Marvel where you have to crank it over for a minute to get it to fire.

Ya some oils foul the plug making it hard to start. 3n1 burns off quickly, it will smoke a little when starting.

Only thing I'd question is if that engine has ceramic bearings I've always heard brake cleaner is very harsh on them..so if that's the case can I trust that 3 in 1 oil is a good idea..? hmmm don't know.

I've been making my own fuel for 50 years. I use castor and sometimes a little syn. I run from .049 to FT 300. AFTERRUN? Now if you just feel the need to use it; may I suggest unscented baby oil. For you guys that rarely research. Baby oil is pure unadulterated mineral oil. Totally hydrophobic. Cheap, easy to get, works great for your guns as well as fishing gear. You can get it from Bulkapothecary for $17.00 or so a gallon.
