Hi,
I'm currently rebuilding our carburettor, and was wondering as to which type of oil you can use in the dashpot?
I have a can of 3 in 1 that I could use, but is that okay for it or do you need to use a different type?
Thanks

3in1 is fine or just use a spot of 20W50

3 in 1 is fine,i had mine serviced and they put gear oil in it after a month i could not get the engine ti rev got the aa out and he identified the cause.dash pot oil is fine too thats a sae 20 oil nice and thin

3 in 1 - the Red can. Works Rally Minis used EP 90 gear oil - to try to stop the pistons jumping up and down on rough surfaces.
