Clinton News-Record, 1985-11-20, Page 21• Oil makes difference The Outboard Marine Corporation has been doing some tests regarding gasoline quality and outboard motors. Since it's that time of year when many outboards are be- ing put up on the block for the winter, I felt you might be. interested in the results. The comments on storage will be particularly helpful, but even if your overall perfor- mance has not been what you might expect, the answer may be here. ' Dees two-cycle motor oil contribute to carburetor "gumming" in outboard motors? That's an accusation that's been made by more than one mechanic over the years. More recently the idea has been used to tout the advantages of some automatic fuel blending systems on larger outboards that inject oil behind the carburetor. Lubrication engineers at Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC), manufacturers of Johnson and Evinrude outboards, have long suspected that poor quality gasoline was the real culprit. To settle the matter, OMC went to the experts at Chevron Chemical Co. in San Francisco. Chevron Chemical manufactures many, of the ad- ditives used to create modern two-cycle lubricants. Chevron ran tests with 50:1 and 100:1 gas/oil ratios using leaded regular, lead- free regular, lead-free regular with methanol and lead-free regular with ethanol. The tests measured oxidation stability, a measure of what happens to gasoline when it is exposed to oxygen. The results showed that in every instance the oxidation stability of the fuel/oil mixture II Naturally Speaking By Steve Cooke was equal to or better than that of the same fuel alone, according to Howard Pollari, an OMC engineer. "Chevron's tests indicate that the presence of TC -W -type outboard lubricant in gasoline would not increase its gum -forming tendency due to oxidation," said Pollari. "In fact it appears that additives found in quali- ty outboard lubricants actually help to stabilize gasoline and reduce its gum - forming tendencies." Gasoline gumming occurs when fuel ab- sorbs oxygen, Pollari said. This is likely to happen when an outboard motor, or any kind of gasoline engine, is stored or idle for a long period of time. Thick, sticky deposits form as the fuel oxidizes, "gumming up" carburetor needle valves, jets, and floats. "The rate of oxidation really has a lot to do with the quality of the gasoline," said Pollari. "Refiners used to blend in greater amounts of additives in gasoline which helped inhibit oxidation and lessen the tendency for gumming. However, as gasoline prices have risen in the past several years, many refiners have been ad- ding less of these additives in an effort to keep costs down. I suspect that overall to- day's gasolines have a greater tendency to oxidize than gasoline available 15 years ago." Pollari points out that gumming shouldn't be a problem for any motor that's used regularly. "An outboard would have to sit unused for six' to eight weeks before oxida- tion of fuel in the carburetor and engine becomes a problem," Pollari said., "If you know your motor is going to sit idle for a while, adding a fuel stabilizer to the fuel supply should help eliminate problem," Pollari said. "We recommend adding OMC 2 + 4 Fuel Conditioner to the fuel supply before storage. Run the motor for a little while to get the stabilized fuel into the car- buretor before storing the motor. OMC 2 + 4 also helps absorb condensed moisture which can form during storage in some climates." As a final piece of insurance, OMC advises boaters to buy quality gasoline and two- cycle lubricants developed specifically for marine use, like OMC's Johnson and Evinrude outboard lubricants. Most out- board warranties require the use of BIA- certified TW -C libricants, which contain special additives and base stocks selected to keep outboards operating efficiently and reliably.

(Anne Narejko photo) Atoms defeat Seaforth In Seaforth on November '16 the Clinton Atoms rallied for three late third period goals to edge previously undefeated Seaforth 4-3. The win extended Clinton's undefeated streak to nine games. Seaforth grabbed an early 1-0 lead in the first period as Mat McNichol scored on his own rebound shot with 50 seconds gone in the game. At the 8:37 mark of the second period, Robbie Van Deulfengal scored to increase Seaforth's lead to 2-0. At 11:39, Shaun Chip - chase was set up by Lee Gibbings and Jason Carter to cut Seaforth's lead to 2-1 at the end of the second period. In the third period, Seaforth's Jason Beut- tenmillerintercepted a clearing pass at the Clinton blueline and went in unmolested to score at 1:08. With their undefeated string on the line and time running out, Clinton's Chris Kennedy scored a powerplay goal with six minutes remaining. Jason Carter and Shaun Chipchase earned assists on the Kennedy goal. Less than a minute later, Mark Livermore stole a puck from one of the Seaforth defenders at the blueline, went in alone and deked the goalie to one side before depositing the puck into the net tying the score at 3-3. Just 56 seconds after the Livermore goal, Lee Gibbings, on a ' goal -mouth scramble, was able to tuck the puck in for the winning goal. Clinton's defence. Of Scott Shaddick, Scott Rathwell, Scott Wright and Shane Mac- Donald again played a strong defensive game.

Huron County Board of Education Jewelry Fashions, Facts, Fiction GEM WISE by David Anstett MEMBER AMERICAN GEM SOCIETY TIME FOR TOPAZ Marco Polo was alive when topaz was extensively used in. jewelry design in the 13th century. It was a'favorite in the 17th century when King Louise XIV reigned. In the 1820's, it was a popularly featured stone in matched jewelry sets. Today, it is again time for topaz. Maybe it won't drive away sadness, make you more intelligent or give you courage, as was once believed. On the other hand, wearing a topaz ring or. pendant, tie back or cuff links can smartly express your happiness. Topaz, a traditional birthstone for November, is often thought of as yellow. Certainly golden to reddish colors of topaz have always been popular. Blue topaz is becoming more popular and is quite affordable. Light pink topaz was so rare in Russia in the 19th century that it was retricted to the Czar, his family, and those to whom he gave it as gifts. Your taste may run more to sherry -topaz. Whatever your taste in colors, topaz is sure to offer a look you are pleased with. Colored gemstones such as topaz of- fer you good size for the purchase price. Three to six carat topaz is surprisingly affordable, and there are some wonder- ful golden and peachy colors available now. As members of the American Gem Society, we are proud to do our best to meet your needs. For topaz or other colored gemstones, stop by and let us discuss your interests with you -- it's time!
