I'm not 100% sure about the oil but it was a greenish blue color and smelled like 2 stroke oil. It was also very clean the oil filter almost looked new. My theory is that the PO got the bike for cheap or free and it was his first bike. He probably tried to clean carbs by only spraying the inside of the bowl and not completely disassemble and clean. He probably thought that 2 stroke oil is used for all motorcycles. And the oil filter spring and washer might have either been missing to begin with or discarded with the old filter when it was changed. I think he used starting fluid to see if it would run and then told me that it would idle but die out with throttle. I thought it looked very well taken care of when I first checked it out.
