Wednesdays Tech Tip:  Try lubing

your old style chain with 50/50

2 stroke oil and diesel….

#1 Remove the chain and clean it

in diesel or lantern fuel…We can’t

purchase REAL mineral spirits so

use something that thins oil.

#2 Soak the chain in the 50/50

mix.

#3 Wipe the chain dry with paper

towels.

#4 Install the chain and be amazed….It works better than chain lubes and last longer.  The chain will run cooler and stretch less…   In 500 to 1000 miles you can repeat or just apply some 50/50 from an oil can, and then wipe dry….

****This also works well on dirt

bike chains that are old style, not

sealed chains…
