Velocette Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 4 hours ago, Robden said: Off topic, I know, but the smell that takes me back to my yoof is Castrol 'R' racing oil.................devine. For those of us who couldn't quite afford Castrol R , a dash of "Twirl" cooking oil in the tank of my BSA Road Rocket smelt just as good, as well as covering the carb with a sticky gummy film !! Just like the real stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powler Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Love the smell of castrol R, one of my friends came round once in a old Citroen diesel, that was running on a chippy oil diesel mix, that smelt nice just like a fish and chip shop. Sorry going off topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed the old formula a while back (not sure when, but many years ago) and it doesn't have the magic smell at all now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demonic69 Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Magic Bore and Legia for me. Gets the OU clean in minutes. The SA gets the same then some engine oil to lube as recommended by the manufacturer. Though I did use just Legia before the last time we went out and cycled about 100 carts no problem and seemed a bit cleaner afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) If you google `Young`s 303 smell` you will see a quote from another forum as follows -: "There is no scent finer from that given off by PH Youngs 303 drizzled over 1 oz of smouldering Old S-H-A-G tobacco. If in doubt, ask John Forsey of Gentry`s gun shop" However, this was posted on 1st. April 2021 and probably originally written when John Forsey`s shop was Gentry`s. He always did and I`m sure has still got a good sense of humour. The post has a thumbs up by our very own Alan123shooting.
