Re: Engine flooding with petrol
assuming its the 650 in your pic, just use a bog stock 10-40 mineral oil. dont bother with fully or semi synth, remember that its an engine from the 70s, so was designed to use 70s standards of oil, putting semi or fully synth in it will be a complete waste of money. just use the standard supermarket car oil and change it every 1500 miles or so, and change the filter every other change.

It wont be anything too flash... As a lot of the more modern oils are more lubricious, and can lead to clutch slippage.
I'll stick with to 10w40 Diesel mineral - I like to run diesel oil as it has detergents in. I've seen it completely descale a ptrol engine in a scale of a few months.
Just told the missus about the funning in schedule... 500 miles at more than more 4k rpm
