Remember Full Bore 2 stroke Synthetic?

[jimcor]

Did anyone run Full Bore synthetic in their two stroke oil injected bikes back in the late 60's and early 70's? Blue stuff IIRC, came in a black metal 1 quart can. You could buy it from Yamaha dealers. Expensive stuff! Almost $1.89 a quart. Marketed by Yankee motors, distributing, or something or other. I ran this stuff in my '69 Yamaha YCS1C 180cc two stroke, twin cylinder street scrambler.

Remember all the sparkplugs we changed back then?
Blendzall was my favorite.

i used a lot of castrol 2 stroke oil. the green stuff. love that bean oil smell.

i wasnt alive back then. however i would love to see 2 stroke bikes come back to the street world. seems like 2 strokes in general are disappearing from every application these days.

I remember Full Bore. Did anyone besides me run TC Red? Slender, tall, clear bottle, white cap, white printing directly on bottle. Synthetic, real expensive for the time. sunruh, I still have a lot of A747, and sometimes, just for the heckuvit, I'll mix up some Maxima 927 and blow some leaves or grass clippings!

I used Duralube mostly. It wasn't the Duralube additive they sell today but 2-stroke oil. I also ran MC1+ which was advertized as fully synthetic but had many engine problems with it.

Golden Spectro was advertized as being a blend did well also.
