"I just came across an old Goodyear 5 HP Model 025-3564A serial 2922012 I believe its from the fifties.
I have two questions: 1st on the Name and operating instructions (located between the mount clamps ) it says to mix 1/2 pint (8oz) of NO.30 oil to one gallon of gas.Now by todays mixing standard that is a 16:1 ratio... Is this right? Using current two cycle oil should I stay at 16:1 or should I use some thing else?
#2 If you remove the brass nut on the bottom of the bowl stem to expose the taper rod valve shut off. Should there be a spring in there and why?
If the gas comes in at the bottom of the stem goes up through the taper vale,out a hole at the bottom of the bowl to the carb, why would you force that taper valve shut. If that is the case you would only get gas to the carb if you run all lean or on prime.
can some one explain this to me as I am not familar with this process.
Thanks
