Maybe Norm,
My brother swears by the Aldi Gardenline fully synthetic 2 stroke oil. No smoke at all he reckons. Trouble is being Aldi its only rarely available. I had a look at Repco the other day. Only fully synthetic 2 stroke oil was Penrite MC2T. Mainly for motorbikes I think but it says OK for lawn mowers. Its almost 3 times the price of their mineral oils. Take me a lot of convincing that its worth it. They have semi synthetics as well and the "Race Castor".
Of course Aldi is probably cheaper. I just buy BP whenever I fill up my tin at the local servo. Do not use much 2 stroke fuel except when I am trying to get one of my project machines going.
Thanks MF for the SPFC history. The steel deck looks just the same for both PT and SPFC except the PT has the centre cut out. Same die I think.
All the best
Jeff
