: I have a mh 50, Iam now using a lead additive in my gas. I had a Min.- Moline-BF Avery.mod BF. : I never used any lead in it. I devoloped a lot of oil burnning problems. I took the motor apart expecting to see a lot of piston wear. beleive it or not the pistons looked very good. (rings too) which leads me to beleive that oil got in through to valve stems. : now I hear that putting lead additives is not allways the best for an engine. I sure would like other opinions. whats yours? I agree with Nate, think of it in terms of cost. You'll use alot of additive till you would ever need to replace the valve seats in an engine burning unleaded fuel. Besides, additives leave deposits which can reduce the life of spark plugs.
