keystone with TAS motor

anyone out there running one of these? I just got mine running and its cool, sounds like a big chainsaw on steroids. I'm wondering what oil to put in the gearcase, the clutch is in the oil bath as well so I'm assuming that 4stroke bike engine oil would do it?

sorry cant help, mine is not running yet. no spark. only thing i can say on the oil is do not use limited slip oil.

file the points and set the gap to about 0.016", should work unless your coil is dead. I've got no idea what the specs are to set the timing but even if its way out it'll still spark.
I put 4stroke atv oil in it which made it slip too much.....I think the mag side crank seal is a little loose too, after running for a while it was burning the 4stroke oil....seeping in thru the seal into the bottom end.

Some of the new tanaka weedwaker coils will work on it.
