1. Pail oil 40-60%
2. Naptha 25-35%
3. IPA 10-20%
Sounds like 100% to me. I made a little bit using 2 cycle oil, smells similar, except the 2 cycle oil give it a weird smell. It's been around since like the 1940's, so there can't be that many other ingredients if there are any. Even if I don't end up with the exact same thing...it will be something similar, maybe even better. That's why I'm asking here what type of oil I should use and if there are any other ingredients I might want to use. Once I work up a final recipe I plan on asking here to make sure I'm not going to ruin any engine by using it.
