McCoy never made an 051. You want to use high notro in small engines. At least 25% and use castor oil.

I wouldn't run it as it uses a special plug and they haven't been made in years. You blow it and that's that.

There are many better engines available that that have a better parts availability. Cox is one of the best. Mecoa is making plugs for Cox engines again.
