Engine odor issue
yesterday I worked outside and ran one of my bigger R/C engines, then used the leaf blower for a while, when I came in the house
my wife said I really smelled like exhaust, used the same gas and oil mix for both jobs, I am wondering if some 2 stroke oils
produce more stink than others, I don't remember having this problem a few years ago, wish I could remember what brand of oil I
was using then. Anyone know of an oil that is not so smelly when it burns?

Well you could try some Power Plus Fuel Fragrances. They come in Grape, Cherry, Bubble Gum, Cotton Candy, Pina Colada, Blueberry, Root Beer, Strawberry, Water Mellon, Rasberry, Cinnamon, Vanilla, Banana, Apple and Tangerine. I bought a bottle myself, but I misplaced it and can't find it now, I wanted to see how it works myself too.

I tried some crappy cologne my wife bought for me and didn't like it. I put a dozen squirts into my RC car fuel jug. Every now and then you could get a whiff of Polo Sport. It still smelled like glow engine exhaust for the most part, I suppose adding more scent would work better. Curious how well this would work for a gas engine. They run so hot I wonder if you'd be able to smell the scent over the exhaust?

I'd run my gasoline engines on methanol if I could find carburetors that are the right size for my engines. I dont think the WT499 would work well on my 3hp Tecumseh engine.
