Hello i seem to have something wrong with my headlights. about 2 weeks ago i had high and low beams now all i have is highbeams .floor switch is new and some wiring is as well. would this happen from my plate light shorted? second question i was using a lead additive and i was told that all this does is gum things up . i stopped and now put marvile oil in my tank of gas . good or bad idea?

46, Floor switch is likely the problem, or loose wire connecting to it. If you had a short, you'd have no lights, as the circuit breaker would trip. Lead additive does an excellent job of keeping your wallet cleaned out, but not a whit to help your engine. MMO is the best thing you can do for your gas tank and fuel line, as it helps prevent rust from the water contained in the new alcohol gasoline. MMO also helps prevent the varnish buildup on your valve guides, due again, to the nasty gasoline these days.

ok. thank you i just don't want to hurt my flathead . m oil is good so i should use about 4oz per 10 gallons each tank? and stop using the lead sub alltogether. correct?

46, Yes, that's about right. The MMO straight into the tank offers multiple benefits. If you use too much, it will smoke out your tail pipe, but won't harm your engine. About the Lead Additive, I'll say it a different way: Using Lead will help prevent that ugly bulge in your hip pocket caused by too many greenbacks. It will not harm your engine in the least.

Don't overdo the MMO, as it will foul sparkplugs if the recommended dose is exceeded. It is better to put it in occasionally, rather than with every fill up.

i only started to use it because i have a light popping sound from my exhaust at and idle and sometime running down the road. i was told this maybe caused by sticky vavles. mmo might help with this issue.
