What type & weight should I use.

straight 20W is the ideal but I have heard you can use tranny fluid too but I prefer the 20W...

i use 20w motorcycle fork oil and it works great..just thick enough to pull a little more fuel, got much better response from stand still...michele

Great to know what type of oil to use, but where exactly is the fill level?

 

[mizhele]

should have a mark on the damper stick...cant really mess it up just pour some to top them put rod back in and with your finger push up on carb piston it will push out excess wont hurt anything...michele

Another option is 3-in-1 oil (its 20W). Works for me.

ATF is OK. Its mostly 10-weight oil, anyhoo.

Recommended by Stromberg for their carbs. and will allow the damper piston to react faster, and richen up the mix, particularly when the engine is cooler and you need the extra gas.
