i use the 3-in-1 muti use oil. i think its a bit lighter then 10. well, i did use it til i got a WEBER!!!!
good luck wit it!
and i hate to step on your toes, but companies sell those flow meters for a reason. the same one that all good classic car shops use them... for tuning carbs, its always better to remove as many variables as possible. little errors in the snycronization can be a variable that makes it hard to get a good fine tuning. granted, it can be done by eye, but using a flow meter sure is a more accurate way
I know, I've had one for 35 years and it still works. The problem is you can only use it momentarily because it resticts the flow and changes the vacuum/idle speed if you leave it on to long. The main jets will change the idle speed and the vacuum for the 3 cyclinders it feeds also. The balance tube equalizes the vacuum to a certain extent but the most important thing is to have wide open carbs equal. Different oil wts depends on the engine/build demands and the altitude. Amsoil makes a 0 wt oil. Works for me. At 4600 elevation I need all the air I can get.

agreeable. and there are different types of flow meters. some don't restrict that much. but either way, i guess we're both right

That depends on your ability to pick up the phone and call them.
