Default Re: Marvel Mystery Oil

Fifty years ago I bought this little motorcycle for my daughter who was seven then. It has a one-horse Briggs & Stratton engine. She rode it all over the place until she was eleven when I bought her a bigger motorcycle. The little motorcycle was put away and has not been started in 40 years. We recently started cleaning it up for the grandkids. I took the engine out of the frame to do some repairs to the frame. Today was the first time we tried to start the engine. It started right up, but sounded a little noisy and did not run as smooth as I remember. Todays posts on fordbarn about MM gave me the idea and I added a shot of MM to the gas tank and it seemed to quiet down and run smoother.
